Hyderabad: Telangana‘s Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, announced on January 12 that the state will soon set up a commission to reorganize its districts. This commission will be led by a retired judge from either the High Court or Supreme Court.
The announcement came during the unveiling of the 2026 calendar and diary for the Telangana Gazetted Officers Central Association. Reddy criticized the previous BRS government for conducting district reorganization without logic.
Reddy stated that the government is receiving many requests for changes to districts and mandals. He emphasized that decisions should not be influenced by politics. The upcoming committee will include a retired judge and experienced revenue officers.
The Chief Minister mentioned plans for a logical restructuring of mandals, revenue divisions, and districts. He intends to discuss this during the upcoming budget session in the Assembly.
Under the BRS administration, the number of districts grew from 10 to 33. Many leaders have called for further reorganization of these administrative areas.
Reddy suggested that the new panel should visit different areas to collect public feedback on the proposed changes.
Additionally, Reddy announced the approval of pending DA for government employees, which will cost the state Rs 225 crore each month.
