Haryana CM Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday announced that Hansi will be accorded district status as the 23rd district of Haryana, marking a significant administrative milestone for the region. The Chief Minister further stated that the official notification will be issued within a week, after which Hansi will formally attain district status from the revenue administration perspective.
Addressing a ‘Vikas rally’ in Hansi, the Chief Minister also inaugurated and laid foundation stones of three development projects worth Rs. 77.30 crore.
Recalling Hansi’s rich historical and cultural legacy, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini described it as a land of valour and sacrifice, once known as the gateway of Hindustan. He paid homage to the 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 said Hansi’s prominence predates even the freedom struggle, noting 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.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment to regional development, the Chief Minister said that no stone would be left unturned for the progress of Hansi. Highlighting development works, he stated that projects worth Rs. 1,008 crore have been executed in the Hansi Assembly constituency over the last 11 years, whereas only Rs. 253 crore worth of works were undertaken during the Congress regime.
