Special Chief Secretary to Revenue Rajeshwar Tiwari said the formation of the new districts, revenue divisions , mandals and villages will not have any effect on the existing elected bodies of Zilla Parishad, Mandal Parishads and Gram Panchayats and their jurisdiction over the areas covered by the existing districts till the new local bodies are constituted.
For the smooth functioning of the administration, Mahbubnagar district Collector D Ronald Rose, Bhupalpally Collector V Venkateswarlu have been placed in full additional charge (FAC) of the post of Collector to Narayanpet and Mulugu districts, respectively.
