The Rajasthan government has approved the proposal to form zila parishads in eight new districts, an official statement said Friday. Along with this, zila parishads will also be reorganised in 12 other districts, it said.
The state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma is ensuring the availability of all the necessary resources and other facilities to create an administrative structure in the new districts, it said.
For this, the chief minister has approved the proposal for the formation of new zila parishads and action related to the reorganisation of the affected Zila Parishads.
According to the proposal, under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, the District Collector of the concerned districts (8 new districts and 12 affected districts) will prepare a proposal for the formation and reorganisation of the Zila Parishad on the basis of Panchayat Samitis and Gram Panchayats.
The previous Gehlot government in Rajasthan had issued a notification to create 17 new districts and three new divisions. Along with this, three new districts were announced but their notification was not issued.
In December this year, the current government decided to dissolve the nine districts and three divisions formed by the Gehlot government, while retaining eight of the newly created districts.
