The State government's decision to carve out a new Sri Balaji district by taking away industrially-advancement Assembly segments of Gudur and Sullurpeta Assembly segments from the present SPSR Nellore district has evoked mixed response from the stakeholders in SPSR Nellore district.
Following delimitation of districts, the truncated SPSR Nellore district will be without the prestigious spaceport Satish Dhawan Space Centre as also the main tourist attraction Pulicat lake, the second largest brackish water lake in the country visited by migratory birds from far away lands.
It will also stand to lose also the Special Economic Zone and mega industrial park at Menakuru. The truncated SPSR Nellore district will be left with only under-developed revenue divisions of Kavali, Atmakur and Nellore will lose its prominence after the reorganisation of districts, feels opposition parties.
