Following a request made by Narsapur MLA Chilumula Madan Reddy for the creation of a new mandal in Medak district, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today sanctioned the formation of one.
Masaipet village in Medak district will now be converted into a mandal, which will increase the number of mandals in the district to 21.
The new mandal will comprise nine villages - three from Chegunta mandal and six from Yeldurthy mandal - in the Toopuran revenue division of Medak district.
Formal orders regarding the same will be issued shortly by the state government.
