Basirhat district is a proposed district to be created in the Indian state of West Bengal. The district would be carved out from the existing North 24 Parganas district. The district headquarters would be Basirhat.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]In July 2017, the Government of West Bengal announced its intention to create the district in the near future. Under this proposal, Basirhat district will be created from ten community development blocks namely Swarupnagar, Baduria, Basirhat I, Basirhat II, Haroa, Minakhan, Hasnabad, Sandeshkhali I, Sandeshkhali II and Hingalganj in North 24 Parganas district.[4] In August 2022, the cabinet of West Bengal gave "in-principle approval" to the district's formation.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
