On 26 January, 2022, the Andhra Pradesh State Government has passed a notification under Sub-section 5 of Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Districts Act, 1974. The existing 13 districts in the state have been reorganised to form a total of 26 districts. The objective behind this idea is to decentralise the power and ensure that transparency in administration is maintained. This has led to the division of the current Visakhapatnam District into three new districts, namely Alluri Sitharama Raju District, Anakapalle District, and Visakhapatnam District. The new Visakhapatnam District will be the smallest district in Andhra Pradesh, in terms of area, covering only 928 sq km.
The areas that come under the new Visakhapatnam District are Bheemunipatnam, Anandapuram, Padmanabham, Visakhapatnam Rural, Maharanipeta
, Gajuwaka, Pedagantyada, Gopalapatnam, Mulugada, and Seethammadhara. The district will have two revenue divisions, namely Bheemunipatnam Revenue Division and Visakhapatnam Revenue Division.
