The Hindu, the cited source, places the incineration "at Gopalpet in Tallada mandal" and says the cases were registered across four excise stations "in the Khammam district". It names them as the "Kothagudem Excise Station", the "Bhadrachalam Excise Station", the "Palvancha Excise Station" and the "Manuguru Excise Station". The Bhadradri Kothagudem district government portal lists "Kothagudem municipality", "manuguru municipality" and "Palvancha Municipality" under its municipalities and mentions "Area Hospital, Bhadrachalam of Bhadradri Kothagudem District". This news item follows The Hindu and gives the district as Khammam District.
