Minister says government likely to follow model of GHMC in Telangana
Recently, the State government has proposed the formation of 13 new districts in the State to the existing 13. Visakhapatnam district has been divided into three – Anakapalle comprising Anakapalle, Chodavaram, Payarkraopeta, Narsipatnam, Yelamanchili, Madugula and Pendurthi Constituencies, Visakhapatnam comprising East, West, North, South, Bheemunipatnam and Gajuwaka Constituencies and Alluri Sitaramaraju (ASR) district comprising Araku, Paderu and Rampachodavaram.
Eversince the announcement was made, there has been a dilemma among the GVMC Corporators from Anakapalle Zone (Wards 80 to 84) and Pendurthi Zone (Wards 89 to 98) on what could possibly happen once the formation of new districts becomes a reality. The corporators are in talks with senior YSR Congress Party leaders over the possible changes in the GVMC once the Visakhapatnam district is divided into three districts.
