On the 19th December, 1952, the Prime Minister informed Parliament that the Government of India had decided to establish an Andhra State consisting of the Telugu speaking areas of the present Madras State, but not including the city of Madras. Mr. Justice Wanchoo was appointed to consider and report on the financial and other implications of this decision and the questions to be considered in implementing it. On the 25th of March, 1953, the prime Minister announced the decisions reached by Government after careful consideration of Mr. Justice Wanchoo's report and of the other matters connected with the establishment of the Andhra State. As regards the district of Bellary, it was then announced that three of the ten taluks should form part of the Andhra State and six Kannada speaking taluks should form part of the Mysore State; the decision regarding the tenth taluk was reserved for further consideration.
2. On the 20th May, 1953, the Government of India announced their decision regarding the Bellary taluk after consideration of the report of Mr. Justice Misra.
