Haryana is set to expand its administrative map with the addition of a new district. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday announced that Hansi will be declared the 23rd district of the state, increasing the total number of districts from the current 22. The announcement was made while the Chief Minister was addressing a Vikas Rally in Hansi, where he congratulated the people of the region on this long-awaited decision.
Hansi to become Haryana's 23rd district
Speaking at the public rally, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the formal notification for declaring Hansi as a district will be issued within a week. He described the move as a significant step towards strengthening administrative efficiency and accelerating regional development. "I announce today that Hansi will be made the 23rd district of Haryana. The notification in this regard will be issued within a week. I congratulate the residents of Hansi on this historic occasion," the Chief Minister said.
Why the announcement matters
The elevation of Hansi to district status is expected to improve governance, streamline public services and boost overall development in the region. District status typically brings enhanced administrative infrastructure, faster decision-making and greater focus on local needs.
Residents and local leaders have long been demanding district status for Hansi, citing its growing population, economic importance and administrative requirements.
Current number of districts in Haryana
At present, Haryana has 22 districts. When the state was formed in 1966, it had only seven districts. Over the years, new districts were carved out to ensure better governance and administrative reach. With the addition of Hansi, Haryana will soon have 23 districts.
