CM Nayab Singh Saini announces Hansi as Haryana’s 23rd district
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday announced the creation of Hansi as the 23rd district of Haryana, fulfilling a long-pending demand of the region. The announcement was made during a development rally in Hansi, where the Chief Minister addressed a large gathering.
The demand to grant district status to Hansi had been raised for several years by local residents and public representatives. A city with centuries-old history, Hansi has long been known for its rich heritage and strategic importance. Despite its historical prominence, Hansi did not get district status even after Independence.
Historically, Hansi once served as a major centre of power, with governance of the surrounding region operating from the Hansi Fort. Landmarks such as the Barsi Gate continue to stand as symbols of the city’s historical identity. Over the years, repeated public movements and representations kept the demand for district status alive.
