Revanth Reddy Announces Judicial Commission for New Districts
A major policy shift took place as a Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy addressed a massive “Praja Palana” public meeting in Pippiri, Adilabad district. Reversing his previous stance, the Chief Minister announced that the state government would set up a Judicial Commission after March 2027 to review public appeals for the creation of new revenue divisions and districts. He explained that federal restrictions currently prevent boundary changes until 2027, but promised that local demands—such as declaring Boath as a revenue division—would be formally evaluated by the commission to ensure scientific and administrative efficiency.
The day was also marked by spiritual and infrastructure initiatives. Earlier in the afternoon, CM Revanth Reddy performed the ‘Bhoomi Puja’ for a ₹225-crore redevelopment of the historic Gnana Saraswati Temple in Basar. Flanked by Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, the Chief Minister laid foundation stones for various development works in the Nirmal district totaling approximately ₹600 crore. During the event, he vowed to complete all pending irrigation projects, including the Pranahita-Chevella project at Tummidihatti, asserting his government’s commitment to transforming the Adilabad region into a fertile agricultural hub.
While the ruling party focused on development, the town of Gajwel witnessed high tension during a bandh (shutdown) called by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The protest was triggered by an alleged attack on former CM KCR’s camp office, where Congress workers reportedly installed a photo of CM Revanth Reddy and damaged windows. BRS leaders attempted to lay siege to the residence of DCC President Ankhsh Reddy, leading to heated scuffles with the police. Massive security was deployed, and several BRS activists were taken into custody as shops and businesses across the Gajwel-Pragnapur municipality remained closed.
In the state capital, the BRS intensified its ideological offensive against the Congress government. BRS General Secretary RS Praveen Kumar predicted a “Gen Z uprising” in Telangana, comparing the rising youth discontent to recent political upheavals in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Addressing a youth induction program at Telangana Bhavan, he accused the administration of anti-student and anti-farmer policies, specifically citing the forceful eviction of poor families in Khammam. He urged the younger generation to lead a statewide movement against alleged land irregularities and governance failures.
Finally, the healthcare sector received a significant boost as the Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board (MHSRB) finalized the selection of 692 Civil Assistant Surgeon Specialists. Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha announced that appointment orders would be distributed on World Health Day (April 7). This recruitment is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen secondary healthcare in rural hospitals. Between the policy U-turn on districts, the religious milestones in Basar, and the street-level protests in Gajwel, April 6 stood out as a day of significant political friction and administrative activity.
