The historical village Jodeghat in Kerameri and also Dobha village in Sirpur (U) where Adivasi legendary Komuaram Bheem’s grandson Komaram Sonerao's family lives will be merged into the new Mancherial district to be created.
Komaram Bheem died while fighting with Nizam forces at Jodeghat on September1,1940.
The state government is of the opinion that merger of above villages is necessary as the new district will be named after Komuram Bheem .
The above decision was taken to continue the historical legacy attached to Komram Bheem and his family and historical Jodeghat in Mancherial district.
The fact is that the tribal population in the Mancherial district will less when compared to parent district Adilabad as agency mandals Jainoor, Indravelli, Utnoor, Narnoor are being retained with Adilabad district.
While Asifabad, Sirpur (U), Tiryani, Kasipet, Dandepalli, Kerameri and Wankidi and may be some tribal villages in Jannaram mandal would be retrained with Mancherial district.
However, Adivasis are not happy with the way the district is divided without addressing the problems, their social political representation, identity and existence of the Adivasis.
It is said being the ITDA at Utnoor with the Adilabad district it would be difficult for the officials to monitor the implementation of the schemes for the welfare and development of the Tribals in Mancherial district. There are proposals to establish mini- ITDAs in the new district.
Adivasi leaders say that the ITDA officials cannot control the situation effectively in case an epidemic that erupts every rainy season in tribal areas in case the tribal mandals divided between two districts.
It is said that even few villages in Jainoor mandal may also be merged with the Mancherial district for geographic reasons. The Government is of the opinion that tribal population in the Asifabad Assembly constituency (ST) will further decrease if the Sirpur (U) mandal is merged with Adilabad and may affect the chances of reserving the constituency for STs.
