Revanth Reddy plans judicial panel to reorganise Telangana districts, mandals

HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday announced that the Telangana government will constitute a judicial commission to undertake a comprehensive reorganisation of districts, revenue divisions and mandals in the state.

The commission will be headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court. Revanth Reddy said the exercise would be carried out in a scientific, transparent and consultative manner.

He said the process adopted by the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government between 2016 and 2022 was unscientific and irrational, leading to administrative flaws. The Congress government, he added, was committed to rectifying these shortcomings.
