The meeting was attended by CM Jagan, ministers, senior officials of various departments including CS. It seems that changes, additions, district names, centers and revenue divisions have been clarified in the notification of the given districts.
The Chief Minister was prepared to set up new revenue divisions beyond the names and ranges of the districts. Information that key orders have been issued to the officers on the Revenue Divisions based on the demands and appeals received locally. However, there is ambiguity over the transfer of zones and villages to other districts. Even the authorities are unable to give clarity on these demands.
