Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday announced to accord district status to Dadri, which is the biggest sub-division in Bhiwani district of the State.
With this, the number of districts in the State will rise to 22. The government will soon start up the process in this direction, Mr. Khattar said addressing a ‘Vikas Rally’ organised at Dadri in Bhiwani district.
“After taking reign of the administration (becoming CM), it is a matter of great pleasure for me to declare Dadri as 22nd district of Haryana as per the demand and aspirations of people.
“It is hard to understand that why were previous parties in power afraid to declare Dadri as a district, when they had accorded the same status on Panchkula, Yamunanagar and Palwal,” he said.
Mr Khattar also announced various developmental projects for Dadri including Rs 1.90 crore for water supply pipeline in Dadri town.
