450 villages missing in Telangana

According to a probe by The Hindu, 450 villages were missing form Telangana. This means that these villages don’t appear in the books of the government. If you wonder what could be the reason, reorganisation of the villages is the answer. The Telangana government in 2016 has reorganised the state. It has increased the number of districts from 10 to 31. During such process many villages were either renamed or transferred to other districts. However such villages were not entered in the final government records. Steps have been taken to address this issue and more than 350 villages were identified by notifications. Still more than 70 villages are said to be missing!
