The state government is set to propose the creation of a new 56th district, responding to calls for Pichhore in Shivpuri to be upgraded, as Chief Minister Mohan Yadav assures the re‑organisation commission of a formal submission.
Local leaders and residents of Pichhore, a town in Shivpuri district, have intensified their demand for the area to be elevated to full district status, which would become Madhya Pradesh's 56th district. The call reflects a long‑standing aspiration for administrative autonomy and better governance.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav responded to the demand by promising to place a formal request before the state's re‑organisation commission. He told officials that the proposal would be prepared promptly, signalling the government's willingness to consider the restructuring.
If approved, the new district could bring government offices closer to the people of Pichhore, potentially improving service delivery and local development. The commission's decision, however, remains pending, and the timeline for any official change has not been disclosed.
