An air of disappointment pervades the denizens of the Chittoor district, as April 1, 2022, is going to be the 111th and the last birth anniversary of the district that is set to be trifurcated on April, 4(Monday).
The district, which came into existence on this day in 1911 during British Raj, will now have seven Assembly constituencies of Kuppam, Punganur, GD Nellore, Chittoor, Puthalapattu, Palamaner and Nagari, while major portions of Madanapalle and Tirupati revenue divisions will be joining Rayachoty and Sri Balaji districts.
The announcement has not gone down well with people here as the district will be parting with all important places that it was hitherto famous for, such as Tirupati, Satyavedu, Srikalahasti, Madanapalle. All that the district will now be left with is a region comprising mostly rural areas.
