Telangana government set to announce formation of new districts

The Telangana government got down to giving final touches to the reorganisation of districts on Thursday but the shape of the new districts will be discussed at Friday’s Cabinet meeting at the Secretariat at 2 PM.

On the other hand, the high power committee headed by Rajya Sabha member K. Keshava Rao wound up its work of receiving representations from the public within the limited scope to examine the formation of four more districts over and above the 17 new districts already announced. The committee was readying its report and will submit it to the Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao before the Cabinet meeting.

Mr. Rao also met Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan to apprise him about the districts formation. Mr. Narasimhan was also invited to see some of the tanks which are full of water following recent rains.

The government has made it clear that there will not be any more additions to new districts.
