Decks have been cleared for the creation of Mulugu as new district, carving it out from Bhupalpalli district. This would be the sixth district to be created from the erstwhile Warangal district.
Following the promise by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao during his recent election campaign owing to public demand, the State government has issued a notification calling for objections and suggestions from the public on December 31. The one-month period expired on January 30.
Mulugu district will comprise Mulugu, Eturunagaram, Mangapet, Kannaigudem,Tadvai, Govindaraopet, Venkatapur(M), Venkatapuram and Wazed mandals. There were no objections for the proposals from the public. However, there were suggestions to include Kothaguda and Gangaram mandals into Mulugu district, from Mahabubabad district. These two mandals are 80 km from the Mahabubabad district headquarters but 14 to 20 km from Mulugu headquaters. People from Peddhapu, Gurampeta, Subhakkapalli, Ramnayak Thanda and Bhausinghpalli villages of Bhupapalli district want their villages to be merged in new Mulugu district.
Meanwhile, there were 130 representations from people to make Parkal mandal headquarters as Bhupalpalli district headquarters. Parkal MLA Ch Dharma Reddy was strongly lobbying to make Parkal as the district headquarters of Bhupalpalli district.
The people of Mallampalli village sulked as there was no mention of making their village as new mandal which was also demanded during the elections and KCR had agreed to it. People have submitted a memorandum to the Collector to make Mallampalli with 10 gram panchayats as new mandal.
The erstwhile Warangal district has been divided into five districts earlier – Warangal Urban, Warangal Rural, Mahabubabad, Jangaon and Bhupalpalli. With the creation of Mulugu, the former Warangal district would be reorganised into six districts.
