Jaipur : Former Indian Administrative Service officer Lalit K. Panwar reviewed the formation of 17 new districts and 3 new divisions and submitted the report to Principal Revenue Secretary Dinesh Kumar on Friday evening. This report will be presented before the Cabinet Sub-Committee, whose meeting is scheduled to be held on September 2 at 3 pm. On the other hand, Panwar only said no comment on the question of change in the status of new districts and divisions. Clouds of crisis are looming over some new districts of Rajasthan. The picture is likely to become clear in the meeting to be held after two days as to which new district will remain and which will not.
Last year, the Ashok Gehlot government increased the number of districts in the state from 33 to 50 and divisions from 7 to 10. These were formed on the recommendation of former Indian Administrative Service officer Ramlubhaya. The Bhajanlal government has formed a cabinet sub-committee under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister Premchand Bairwa to review these districts and divisions. To assist this sub-committee, a high-level expert committee was formed on July 1 under the leadership of former IAS Panwar, in which the Additional Chief Secretaries of Finance, Rural Development-Panchayati Raj and Home Department were made members and the Principal Revenue Secretary was made the member secretary.
