Notice Board


Lucknow, July 1 -- AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi's parliamentary constituency Amethi on Thursday became 72nd district of the state. It will be known as Chatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar.

Gauriganj will be the district headquarters. Similarly, nearly three-decade-old Kanpur Dehat has been renamed as Ramabai Nagar.

Ramabai was the first wife of Dr BR Ambedkar. The numbers of districts in UP have risen from 61 to 72 during the last 15 years.

The decision was taken at the Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister Mayawati today. The government took the decision following High Court's directive in the matter.

The district would be carved out of three Tehsils of Sultanpur-Amethi, Gauriganj and Musafirkhana and two of Rai Bareli- Salon Tiloi. The Lucknow Bench of Allahabad High Court, while disposing of petition of an advocate Uma Shankar over the issue had directed the state government in March 2010 to consider formation of the new Chatrapati Sahuji Maharaj Nagar within three months.

The deadline ended yesterday. The creation of Amethi as a district in the name of Sahuji Maharaj was seven-year-old dream of the Chief Minister, who had last year carved out 71st district Kanshi Ram Nagar from existing Etah district.

Amid stiff opposition by the Congress over the name, Mayawati had announced creation of Sahuji Maharaj Nagar in December 2002 at a rally in Amethi. The notification was finally issued in May 2003.

However Mulayam Singh Yadav government, which came to power in August 2003 with the help of the Congress, scrapped her decision in January 2004. Yadav then had also scrapped some other districts- Ambedkar Nagar, Kaushambi, Jyotiba Phule Nagar (Amroha), Mahamaya Nagar (Hathras), Sant Kabir Nagar, Chandauli, Sravasti and Auraiya.

All of them were restored after Mayawati came to power in 2007. Reacting to today's decision the UPCC spokesman Akhilesh Pratap Singh and Congress Legislature Party chief Pramod Tiwari said the new district should have been named after late Rajiv Gandhi, who had long been associated with the Constituency.
