Several Ministers, MLAs and MLCs of the North Andhra region on Saturday said that new administrative set up with the formation of new districts and divisions would pave the way for the speedy development of all the districts.
The Andhra Pradesh government has created Parvatipuram district and revenue divisions at Bobbili and Cheepurupalli of Vizianagaram district. Palasa of Srikakulam district has also been made a revenue division as the Palakonda revenue division from the district has been merged with Parvatipuram district.
Minister for Animal Husbandry Sidiri Appala Raju, who represents the Palasa Assembly constituency, says the division will ensure decentralisation and administration at the doorstep of people. “Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is very keen on decentralisation and it is evident with the creation of ward and village secretariats. The formation of new districts and divisions will ensure prompt services quickly to people,” he tells The Hindu.
