December 16, 2025

Hansi: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday announced that Hansi will be accorded district status as the 23rd district of the state, marking a significant administrative milestone for the region.

District Status to be Officially Notified Soon

The Chief Minister said the official notification will be issued within a week, after which Hansi will formally attain district status from the revenue administration perspective.

Inauguration and Foundation Stones of Development Projects

Addressing a ‘Vikas rally’ in Hansi, CM Saini also inaugurated and laid foundation stones of three development projects worth Rs 77.30 crore.

Honouring Hansi’s Historical and Cultural Legacy

Recalling Hansi’s rich historical and cultural heritage, CM Saini described it as a land of valour and sacrifice, once known as the gateway of Hindustan. He paid homage to sacrifices made during the First War of Independence in 1857, stating that the historic Lal Sadak still bears testimony to the brutal atrocities of the British, where freedom fighters were mercilessly crushed.

He noted that Hansi’s prominence predates even the freedom struggle, recalling that the town was earlier known as Asi and Asigarh, and during the reign of Emperor Harsha, it served as the capital of the Satluj province.

Government’s Commitment to Development

Reaffirming the government’s commitment to regional development, CM Saini said no stone would be left unturned for Hansi’s progress. He highlighted that projects worth Rs 1,008 crore have been executed in the Hansi Assembly constituency in the past 11 years, compared to only Rs 253 crore during the Congress regime.

The Chief Minister added that out of 217 promises made in the Sankalp Patra election manifesto, the double-engine government has fulfilled 54 promises within a year, while work on 163 promises is underway.

Though one year may seem brief, he stated that development has progressed at three times the earlier pace, reflecting the government’s commitment to non-stop and inclusive growth, safeguarding the interests of all sections of society.
