Sreenivasulu during Question Hour in the ongoing session of AP Legislative Council on Wednesday. ‘Criteria not discussed’“The decision has been made to increase the number of districts, but further examination is still going on. Mr. Bose said the government aimed at ensuring better administration that could reach out to the doorsteps of the people by creating more districts.
