Is Pithamudi Removed? Two Districts Instead of Three?
The state currently has 26 districts, as is well known. The government split the current 13 districts into 26 after taking office in 2019! However, the government has chosen to establish additional districts because some district headquarters are difficult for citizens to get to! As a result, a cabinet subcommittee has been established. It is discovered during this process that two more districts will eventually be established.
Yes, officials brought up an important issue with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu during the district reorganization meeting. They talked about the challenges Telangana has because of its smaller districts as part of this. In this regard, the officials suggested looking into the potential inclusion of the Railway Kodur electorate in Tirupati district, the Rajampet constituency in YSR Kadapa district, and Rayachoti in the recently proposed Madanapalle district.
At first, the Madanapalle, Polavaram, and Markapuram territories were to become new districts. It is now known, nevertheless, that just two of these have been chosen. Only the districts of Madanapalle and Markapuram are reportedly going to be created. On January 27, the administration released an initial notification about the revenue division and district adjustments. After that, objections were filed for a month. The Chief Minister, ministers, and officials met on Saturday to review the 927 objections that the state had received. On Sunday, a thorough debate of all these issues will take place once more, and a decision will be made. On the 31st, the final notification will be sent out.
The district headquarters should remain in Raichoti!
According to rumors, the authorities are looking into the potential of combining Raichoti with Madanapalle, which is supposedly being considered as a new district headquarters. This is a major step. As part of this, the Joint Action Committee (JAC) organized large-scale demonstrations in Raichoti on Sunday morning, calling for the district’s headquarters to remain in Raichoti. Slogans like “No to Madanapalle – We want Raichoti” echoed throughout the region during the demonstrations.
Delimitation to follow immediately after the census is completed!
This time, there was also an important update on the Greater Tirupati and Greater Vijayawada processes. As part of this, Urban Development Minister Narayana said that the federal government has directed that the Greater Vijayawada and Greater Tirupati processes will begin as soon as the survey is finished and that delimitation should not begin until the census is finished. He continued by saying that the fact that the federal government has already begun the population survey has made it difficult to carry out the procedure at this time.
