The State Government’s proposal to create 13 new districts on the lines of Telangana has evoked strong opposition from civil society organisations and opposition parties in Prakasam district.
The trifurcation of the district with part of it comprising the Assembly segments of S.N. Padu, Addanki, Parchur and Chirala proposed to be merged with new Bapatla district and another part including Kandukur Assembly segment to be clubbed with SPSR Nellore district will cause irreparable loss to Prakasam district, which remains backward even after its formation five decades ago, said Prakasam District Development Forum president Chunduri Ranga Rao.
