The Telangana government has issued orders establishing 13 new revenue mandals in the state. The newly established revenue mandals are – Endapalli and Bheemaram in Jagtial district; Nizampet in Sangareddy district; Gattuppal in Nalgonda district; Seerole and Inugurthy in Mahabubabad district; Akbarpet-Bhoompally and Kukunoorpally in Siddipet district; Dongli in Kamareddy district; Koukuntla in Mahabubnagar district; and Aloor, Donkeshwar and Saloora in Nizamabad district. The final notifications for the 13 new revenue mandals were issued district-wise on Monday, September 26.
The preliminary notifications for the new revenue divisions were issued on July 23. The formation of new mandals will not have any effect on the existing elected bodies of zilla parishads, mandal parishads and gram panchayats and their jurisdiction over the areas covered by the existing districts, until the new zilla parishads, mandal parishads and gram panchayats are constituted in accordance with law, the notifications said. The new mandals were finalised “in the interests of better administration and development of the area concerned, after taking into consideration the objections and suggestions received from various people and public representatives,” the notifications said. The new revenue mandals were notified in accordance with Section 3 of the Telangana Districts (Formation) Act, 1974, and come into effect from Monday.
