New District Number 33, In Tamil Nadu: Kallakurichi, Carved Out Of Villupuram
TN Chief Minister E Palaniswami
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Tuesday (January 8) announced the formation of a new district. Kallakurichi district was formed after the bifurcation of Villupuram district. The number of districts in the state will now go up to 33 with the creation of Kallakurichi, reports Times of India.
The creation of the district with its headquarters in Kallakurichi town was announced by the Chief Minister while replying to the motion of thanks to the governor’s address in the state assembly.
Villupuram is Tamil Nadu’s largest district with 11 legislative and two Lok Sabha constituencies and hence was divided to help ease the administrative burden on the headquarters due to its size.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
