Uproar grows louder against naming of new district as Manyam

Bifurcation proposal and creation of new districts has been causing an uproar in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts as people of various regions are coming out with different objections over the last few weeks.

The State government received 4,500 objections from Vizianagaram and around 350 from Srikakulam district. Rajam of Srikakulam district has been proposed to be merged with Vizianagaram and Palakonda of Srikakulam district is going to be included in the newly carved Manyam district headquartered at Parvatipuram, which is currently part of Vizianagaram district.
