Members of the Markapur District Sadana Samiti(MDSS) on Saturday observed a relay fast to exert pressure on the YSR Congress Party Government to carve out a new district with Markapur as its headquarters.
“We are ready for any sacrifice to achieve the long-pending demand,” asserted MDSS Chairman Kandula Narayana Reddy while leading the protest in front of the office of the Revenue Division Officer in Markapur to press for creation of a district comprising the backward Assembly segments of Kanigiri, Darsi, Markapur, Yerragondapalem and Giddalur.
