Ever since the Andhra Pradesh government announced the first draft of the 13 new districts it has been planning to introduce in the state, there have been reports that the government was planning to put them to effect from Ugadi this year. However, there has not been any official confirmation of the same yet. It is now being said that Jagan has made an official announcement on the same, at a meeting today, saying that all the 26 districts would have collectors and superintendents of police and they would start their functioning from their allotted districts from Ugadi day.
Jagan is said to have decided that the collectors and SPs of the existing districts would be transferred to the new districts, as their experience would be of great help in administering the new districts. The officials are said to have explained the basis for the formation of the new districts and the proposals they have received, while also explaining the rationale behind deciding the district headquarters for the reorganized districts. They even told Jagan the objections being raised by various sections and the suggestions from various quarters, which are reportedly being examined and that appropriate changes would be made in the final structure of the districts, if necessary.
If the government makes the changes as per the suggestions of the people, then the government wouldn’t have much problem with the new districts when they come into existence. However, if the government fails to follow the suggestions, then political analysts are saying that there would be large scale protests and huge unrest in the state.
