Govt redraws administrative map; 19 villages shifted across 6 districts

Pradeep SharmaTribune News ServiceChandigarh, December 28The Nayab Singh Saini government has redrawn Haryana’s administrative map by reorganising 19 villages across six districts, a move aimed at improving access to citizen services and enhancing administrative efficiency. The notification comes close on the heels of the declaration of Hansi as the state’s 23rd district.Acting swiftly ahead of the March 1, 2027 deadline, after which administrative boundaries will be frozen for Census-2027, Haryana’s Financial Commissioner Revenue (FCR) Sumita Misra has notified the shifting of villages from one sub-tehsil or tehsil to another in Mahendragarh (Narnaul), Rewari, Yamunanagar, Faridabad, Sirsa and Jhajjar districts.Claiming that the changes would streamline governance, Misra said the reorganisation would facilitate smoother delivery of services and better coordination across different administrative levels. “The decision will not only provide better access to citizen services but would also bring administrative efficiency and synergy across different levels of the governance,” she said.The proposal had earlier received approval from the Haryana Cabinet based on recommendations of the State Re-organisation Committee. A ministerial committee headed by Krishan Lal Panwar, Development and Panchayats Minister, and comprising Mahipal Dhanda, Education Minister, and Shyam Singh Rana, Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister, examined the recommendations submitted by the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) concerned.The DCs based their proposals on multiple parameters, including geographical contiguity, administrative convenience, economic considerations and demands of elected representatives.Under the new administrative arrangement, Mandola village of Satnali sub-tehsil in Mahendragarh district will now fall under Mahendragarh tehsil, while Bareli Kalan in Palhawas sub-tehsil of Rewari district will become part of Rewari tehsil.In Yamunanagar district, Gundiyana and Rupoli have been shifted from Radaur tehsil to Saraswati Nagar sub-tehsil, while Chaharwala, earlier in Saraswati Nagar, has been moved to Byaspur tehsil.In Faridabad, Sectors 15, 15-A and 16-A, currently part of Badhkhal tehsil, will now fall under Faridabad tehsil. Conversely, Sectors 21 (A and B) have been shifted from Faridabad tehsil to Badhkhal tehsil.In Sirsa district, Ranga, Lehngewala, Mattad and Alikan, earlier under Kalanwali tehsil, have been transferred to Sirsa tehsil. Meanwhile, Malikpura, Kingra, Naurang, Banwala and Mithri, also from Kalanwali tehsil, will now be part of Dabwali tehsil.In Jhajjar district, Bilochpura, Bhindawas and Shahjahanpur, currently under Matanhail tehsil, have been shifted to Jhajjar tehsil.Officials said the administrative revamp is expected to reduce travel time for residents, improve service delivery and ensure better alignment of villages with nearby administrative centres.Better access to citizen services“The decision will not only provide better access to citizen services but would also bring administrative efficiency and synergy across different levels of the governance.” — Sumita Misra, Financial Commissioner Revenue
