Parvatipuram Zilla Sadhana Vedika convener Samala Simhachalam on Sunday urged the State government to name the new district as Parvatipuram instead of Manyam.
At an emergency meeting held at Parvatipuram, Vedika members passed a unanimous resolution on their demand while thanking the government for creating a new district headquartered at Parvatipuram.
Vedika members T. Jogarao, Gorli Appalaraju, D. Suresh Kumar and others felt that Manyam name was not apt since Parvatipuram was well-known for the last 300 years.
