Guwahati: Today, during the Independence Day speech , the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the creation of eight new sub-districts across the state as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots-level administration and bring government services closer to the people.
The newly announced sub-districts are Kamalpur, Barhampur, Rangnadi, Chichibargaon, Chabua-Lahowal, Khumtai, Katigorah and Barkhola.
