Chandrababu Naidu Government

ANDHRA PRADESH NEW DISTRICTS: CABINET PANEL SUBMITS REPORT — BIG REFORMS AHEAD Vijayawada, AP:The Andhra Pradesh government has moved a step closer to reorganizing districts once again, as the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted by Chief Minister N.

There is also a move to create Amaravati as a separate district, combining several Assembly segments from Guntur region. 🔸 Government Clarification Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad has clarified that while the government is studying the issue, there is no immediate plan to completely overhaul all existing districts.The focus currently is only on essential new districts + key revenue divisions. 🔸 What Happens Next? 🔸 Why These Particular New Districts?
