The four new districts which will be created in the state are — Hojai, Biswanath, Tamulpur and Bajali — Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced in a press conference.

“We have reconstituted the four new districts, and it is co-terminus with assembly constituencies declared by the Election Commission under delimitation,” he said.

There will now be a total of 35 districts in Assam after creation of the new ones.

Dialogue with faction of ULFA progressing, says Himanta Biswa Sarma

A few days ago, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the ongoing dialogue with the pro-talks faction of the ULFA was progressing in the right direction.

He also said one of the demands of the group for protection of the identity of the indigenous people has been fulfilled following the delimitation of the assembly and parliamentary constituencies in the state.

Sarma exuded optimism that the ongoing talks with the pro-talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are going on in the right direction, according to an Assam government statement.

He did not specify any date for finalisation of the peace agreement with the pro- talks faction.

On the possibility of bringing the hardline faction of the ULFA, led by Paresh Baruah, to the negotiation table, Sarma hoped that a day will come sooner or later when that faction would also accept the olive branch extended by the government.
