With decentralisation and inclusive growth in view, the Chhattisgarh government is reorganising the districts of the state.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel will inaugurate three new districts over Friday and Saturday. This will take the number of districts in Chhattisgarh to 31.

The three new districts are Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh, Sarangarh-Bilaigarh, and Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai. They have been named by clubbing two-three blocks. This is because the state government does not want to antagonise the people of any block by leaving it out.

Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh, carved out of Rajnandgaon district, will come into existence on September 2 and the other two on September 3.
