Administrative Confusion in Rajampet MP Constituency Following District Reorganisation in Andhra Pradesh

Severe administrative confusion has emerged in the Rajampet Lok Sabha constituency of Andhra Pradesh following the reorganisation of districts.

Officials stated that the 2022 district reorganisation, which was executed on the basis of parliamentary constituencies, produced adverse results in the case of Rajampet. The assembly segments under this single Lok Sabha seat are now spread across four different districts: YSR Kadapa, Annamayya, Chittoor, and Tirupati.

As a consequence of this split, four District Collectors and four Superintendents of Police (SPs) currently hold jurisdiction over different parts of a single parliamentary segment. This division has created significant operational difficulties in day-to-day governance, decision-making, and inter-departmental coordination during emergencies.

Both local residents and public representatives continue to face administrative challenges due to these fragmented boundaries. It remains to be seen what steps the state government will take to resolve this administrative deadlock.
