A temporary collectorate will be set up at the Bhuvanagiri municipality for the Yadadri district, and the DSP’s office will be converted into the SP’s office for the proposed district, a source said.

Ranga Reddy officials have proposed the TB Hospital located at Anantagiri Hills for the collectorate of the proposed Vikarabad district.

Officials have identified 100 acres for the construction of government buildings.
In Nizamabad district, officials have prepared a report on the details of government buildings at Kamareddy. The collectorate will be located at the Minority Bhavan at Kamareddy.

Karimnagar officials have identified existing buildings for the proposed Jagityal and Sircilla districts. The 4,997 staff at Karimnagar will be divided among Karimnagar (1,677), Jagityal (1,670) and Sircilla (1,650).

Police to undergo district split pangs
Police chiefs at district levels are preparing proposals for the bifurcation of staff including Civil and Armed Reserve for the new districts. As the government has proposed to create new mandals and revenue divisions, the police has had to increase posts including sub-divisional police officer and new police stations taking the mandal as a unit along with the increasing posts of station house officers.

Ranga Reddy district would lose some police stations as the government has proposed to bifurcate the Cyberabad police commissionerate. Mahbubnagar district has nearly 2,200 civil police and 800 AR personnel in 74 police stations in 64 revenue mandals.

Two revenue sub-divisions, and 11 mandals will be created and the police is pre-paring proposals for additional staff for the three proposed districts – Mahbub-nagar, Nagarkurnool and Wanaparthy.

The Ranga Reddy collector, SP and Cyberabad police commissioner have prepared proposals for staff bifurcation. The Adilabad collector has sent a proposal to consider Bellampally as a new district to be called Mancherial. He said that Bellampally was being considered as a police district.
