Cutting across political ideologies, people from all walks of public life have intensified their attempts to mount pressure on the political parties to create a new district comprising Polavaram and Rampachodavaram Assembly constituencies with headquarters at Polavaram. At present, Rampachodavaram falls in the Alluri Sitharama Raju district and Polavaram falls in the Eluru district.
In 2022, the ruling YSR Congress party had ignored a similar movement that fought for the creation of a separate district headquartered at Rampachodavaram during the exercise of creating new districts in Andhra Pradesh.
A month ago, many civil society representatives formed Polavaram Zilla Sadhana Samithi (PZSS) and intensified their activities to garner support from the tribals of Rampachodavaram and Polavaram.
