Sir please check 3rd question ...ongole breed in ongole not in nellore

IAS Parliament 6 years

It is also called the Nellore breed for the reason that formerly Ongole Taluk, a division of a district, was included in the Nellore district, but now it is included in the Guntur district. The area is part of the Andhra Pradesh in India.
