of 5 more districts of AP

Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government has made Urdu the second official language in five more districts of the state viz Chittor, Mahboob Nagar, Adilabad, Warrangal and Nellore. With this, now there are in all thirteen districts where Urdu is recognised as the second official language. The other eight districts where Urdu is already recognised as second official language are Hyderabad, Ranga, Reddy, Medak, Nizamabad, Karnool, Cudappa, Anantpur and Guntur. Telugu is the official language in all the 23 districts of Andhra Pradesh.
The state government has started declaring Urdu as second official language in districts where the number of Urdu speaking people is 12% or more of its population. All the official work will henceforth be done in Urdu also in these districts.

Urdu teachers will also be appointed in schools for teaching and promoting the language.
Districts collectors in these districts have been instructed to periodically review the implementation of this decision in their respective districts. q
