Answer- Sikkim

In accordance with the Reorganization of Districts Act 2021, which was approved by the Sikkim Legislative Assembly on December 9, 2021, Sikkim declared the establishment of two new districts on December 21, 2021.

Soreng and Pakyong, the two new districts, were once parts of West Sikkim and East Sikkim, respectively.

Four districts were renamed in addition to the creation of the two new districts: North Sikkim was renamed Mangan, West Sikkim was renamed Gyalshing, East Sikkim was renamed Gangtok, and South Sikkim was renamed Namchi.

Rangit river and Chubbatti khola in the east, Rammam river and the Indo-Nepal border in the west, Rangsang khola and Rhododendron Sanctuary in the north, and Rammam river in the south make up the Soreng district.

Pakyong, Rongli, and Rangpo are the three subdivisions that make up the Pakyong district.

Aditya Golay, an MLA, said regarding the new district of Soreng, “Soreng becoming a district is a big achievement for us and the state government. However, government alone cannot bring developmental changes. We need public support and co-operation to make Soreng a model district as it is the duty of everyone to uplift the area and the society”.

The bill which led to the creation of these new districts, said, “With the growing population and aspirations, new challenges have emerged for better service delivery at the district level,”
