- Guda is the largest urban development authority in the state, but the govt is not satisfied with its results

Rajamahendravaram: The state government is contemplating to create another urban development authority in East Godavari district, in addition to the existing Godavari Urban Development Authority (Guda).

As many as 598 villages in 24 mandals along with Rajamahendravaram and Kakinada municipal corporations and municipalities such as Tuni, Pithapuram, Peddapuram, Samalkot, Ramachandrapuram, Gollaprolu, Amalapuram, Mandapeta, Mummidivaram and Yeleswaram are under Guda.
Meanwhile, after division of Guda, it was proposed to include Kovvur and Nidadavolu Assembly constituencies under its purview which falls under Rajamahendravaram parliamentary constituency.
Speaking to The Hans India, Guda vice-chairman R Amarendra said that as per the directions of state government, a proposal was sent to divide Guda and to create another urban development authority.
