Telangana Has More Green Zones Than AP, Here’s Reason

The Union health ministry has divided 733 districts across India into red, orange and green zones, designating all metropolitan cities -Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad into the 'no activity' zone even after the lockdown ends on May 3rd. There are 130 red zones, where more stringent restrictions will be enforced post May 3. However, there will be partial easing in orange zones and liberal easing in green zones.

As we reported earlier, Andhra Pradesh has five red zones, seven orange zones and one green zones. When it comes to Telangana, the state has more green and orange zones than that of AP. Given Telangana has more than double the number of districts (33) than that of AP, it has more green and orange zones. Here’s the list of Red, Orange and Green zones in AP.

Red Zones: Hyderabad, Suryapet, Rangareddy, Medchal/ Malkajgiri, Vikarabad and Warangal (Urban).

Orange Zones: Nizamabad, Jogulamba Gadwal, Nirmal, Nalgonda, Adilabad, Sangareddy, Kamareddy, Kumaram Bheem/ Asifabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Jagtial, Sircilla, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Medak, Jangaon, Narayanpet and Mancherial.

Green Zones: Peddapally, Nagarkurnool, Mulugu, Kothagudem, Mahabubabad, Siddipet, Warangal (rural), Wanaparthy and Yadadri Bhuvangiri.
