Notification for 15 new districts in Rajasthan likely by June 30

JAIPUR: The Revenue Department of Rajasthan has completed the demarcation work for 15 out of the 19 newly proposed districts in the state.

The demarcation reports have been submitted to the government, and the department is now preparing to issue the official notification by June 30.

Once the notification is issued, the newly formed districts will come into existence. However, there is a possibility of a proposal to withdraw the decision to divide Jaipur and Jodhpur into two districts due to ongoing protests.

To oversee the process, the government appointed Officers on Special Duty (OSDs) in the 15 districts.

These OSDs have conducted the demarcation work and submitted their reports to the government.

Based on these reports, the Revenue Department will proceed with issuing the notification for the new districts.
