Visakhapatnam Zilla Parishad Prepares for Elections Amid District Bifurcation
With the current five-year tenure of the Visakhapatnam rural local body Zilla Parishad ending on September 24, authorities are preparing for upcoming Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency elections. The main challenge is the administrative bifurcation of rural jurisdictions to align with newly formed district boundaries, dividing assets, staff, and zones among Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, and Alluri Sitarama Raju districts. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu recently held a meeting on election preparations, while officials work to complete logistical tasks ahead of the polls.
