Here's How the New AP Map Looks Like After Districts Reorganization
AMARAVATI: The Andhra Pradesh government has issued a gazette notification carving out 26 districts out of the existing 13. All the new districts would come into being from April 4 (Monday), the gazette issued on Saturday night said.
As the Andhra Pradesh government is set to administer the newly carved 13 districts from tomorrow.
After the reorganization of districts, in terms of geographical area, Prakasam is the largest district as it’s spread on 14,322 sq km while Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore district is the most populous district as its current population stands at 24.697 lakhs.
--These two districts are large districts because both the districts together have 8 constituencies and 38 mandals.
--With just 3,659 sq km area, Parvathipuram Manyam district becomes the smallest district and its population is just 9.253 lakhs. If we talk about the constituencies in a district, the Alluri Sitaramaraju district has only three constituencies while each district contains 3 to 8 constituencies.
--Formed as a single urban district, Visakhapatnam district has only 11 mandals and its population is 19.595 lakhs.
--One district was additionally created carving out the tribal areas in East Godavari and Visakhapatnam.
--Population-wise, each district has a population of 9.253 lakhs to 24.5 lakhs.
The rationale behind the state government’s decision to reorganize the districts was to make each parliamentary constituency geographically and administratively convenient.
During the exercise of reorganization of districts, the government ensured that the one assembly constituency is in one district.
Acting on the representations received from locals, some mandals have been merged with the nearby districts. This ensured that the people of the respective constituencies did not face any administrative difficulties.
Let’s take a brief look at the new districts' geographical area with their mandals and population (as per the 2011 census).
