What is the procedure of creating new districts within a state?
Puzzled about how new districts are formed within a State? Answers from knowledgeable experts will provide you with informative details.
I generally closely follow new developments in West Bengal, which is my home state. I have noted that the present State Government has been bifurcating the old districts and creating more and more districts. As for example, Darjeeling district is bifurcated and Kalimpong district has been created. Alipurduar district has been created. Barddhaman district has been trifurcated and Asansol, East Barddhaman and West Barddhaman districts have been formed. Medinipore district has been divided into two parts and another new district named Jhargram will be formed very soon.
I know that it is very difficult to form a new state. The resolution has to be passed by the Assembly, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. But now I feel that there is no such need to create new districts within a state.
I would like to know the exact procedure of creating new districts within a state? Is it a purely administrative matter or approval of the legislature (Assembly) is required?
