Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayanaswamy, who holds the Excise and Prohibition portfolio, has stated that the newly-carved Tirupati district is in for holistic development that it deserves and is all set for transformation into a land of opulence.
He was addressing the Independence Day public meeting after hoisting the national flag at the Police Parade Grounds here on Monday, when he recalled how the district reorganisation, which happened after a gap of 42 years, created scope for development at the grassroots level.
“The new Tirupati district was formed with four revenue divisions comprising 34 mandals, 20 added from Chittoor district and 14 from Nellore. Tirupati got a shot in the arm with the inclusion of industrial areas and sea coast. Taking the fruits of development is a challenge before the government in this 75 th year of independence,” the Minister said.
