The issue of creating new districts in Uttarakhand heats up again, CM Dhami said a long time demand, Harda said, left Shigufa to divert money

Not only this, after this the government of Vijay Bahuguna handed over the matter to the Commission for the formation of new administrative units headed by the Revenue Council. After changing the Chief Minister in the year 2016, Harish Rawat came to power and he once again started the exercise of creating 8 new districts and played a new political bet. The blueprint for making new 8 districts (Didihat, Ranikhet, Ramnagar, Kashipur, Kotdwar, Yamunotri, Roorkee, Rishikesh) was also prepared, but all proved to be a political sham.

यदि #जिले बनाने वाली खबर में कुछ सच्चाई है! केवल ध्यान हटाने के लिए जैसे यह शगुफा छोड़ा जा रहा है कि कॉमन सिविल कोड, कोई कह रहा है भू-कानून ताकि जो चूल्हे हिल गई हैं भाजपा की भर्ती घोटाले और अन्य घोटालों से उससे ध्यान हटाया जा सके,….।#Uttarakhand pic.twitter.com/OSXQdTt0dF

The Harish Rawat government of Congress had arranged the budget

In 2016, Harish Rawat, who was the Chief Minister in the then Congress government, had talked about arranging 100 crores for the formation of new districts. However, after this political upheaval started in the Congress and the demand for 4 districts was again put on hold.

Estimates of expenditure of 150 to 200 crores in the construction of a district

In the year 2016, the commission set up for the formation of new districts under the then Chief Minister Harish Rawat had estimated the expenditure of about 150 to 200 crore rupees in the construction of each new district. That is, during that time there was talk of creating 4 new districts. Therefore, if four new districts were created during that time, there would have been an additional burden of about 600 to 800 crores on the state.
