Uttar Pradesh to Create 76th District ‘Kalyan Singh Nagar’

The Uttar Pradesh government has initiated the process to form its 76th district, Kalyan Singh Nagar, in honor of late former Chief Minister Kalyan Singh. The proposed district will include Atrauli and Gangiri tehsils from Aligarh and Dibai from Bulandshahr. The Revenue Council has asked the respective District Magistrates to submit detailed proposals on administrative setup and boundaries. The move fulfills a long-standing demand, gaining momentum after MP Rajveer Singh’s appeal to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. If approved, it will be the state’s first new district since Sambhal in 2011.
