Administrative set up

"The first record of the district is found in Ain-i-Akbari. It was part of Suba
Delhi. When the British took over the area in 1803, it was a part of Delhi territory.
In 1819 reorganisation, Panipat, Karnal and Sonipat areas formed part of Panipat
district. In 1851 Panipat district was divided into Panipat and Karnal tahsils with
headquarters at Panipat and Gharaunda respectively. Three years later,
headquarters of the district were shifted to Karnal. Since then numerous intra-
district changes occurred.
The State has been experiencing inter-district and inter-tahsil jurisdictional
transfers ever since its formation on Ist November, 1966. There were 7 districts at
the 1971 Census which increased to 12 in 1981, 16 in 1991, 19 in 2001 and 21 in
2011. Likewise the number of tahsils has increased from 32 to 74 and towns from
65 to154 in 1971and 2011 respectively.
Haryana State is divided into four administrative Divisions, namely Ambala,
Rohtak, Hisar and Gurgaon, each headed by Divisional Commissioner. Ambala
Division covered Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra and Kaithal
districts; Rohtak Division extended over Karnal, Panipat, Sonipat, Rohtak and
Jhajjar districts; Hisar Division is spread over Jind, Bhiwani, Hisar, Fatehabad
and Sirsa districts; Gurgaon Division is spread over Mahendragarh, Rewari,
Gurgaon, Mewat, Faridabad and Palwal districts. During 2011 Census two newly
created districts, namely, Mewat (17 December 2004) out of district Gurgaon and
Palwal (13 August 2008) out of district Faridabad have been added in Gurgaon
Division.
The district lies in Rohtak Division having two sub-divisional offices located at
Panipat and Samalkha. The district has three tahsils viz Panipat, Israna and
Samalkha. Five Community Development Blocks Madlauda, Panipat, Israna,
Samalkha and Bapauli have been set up in the district for the development of
rural areas.
Panipat district appeared on the Census map for the first time in 1991
comprising Panipat and Assandh tahsils. It was carved out of Karnal district. At
that time, Panipat tahsil had 186 villages and two notified towns of Panipat and
Samalkha and Assandh tahsil contained 46 villages and one town, namely,
Assandh. Israna and Samalkha tahsils were created in December, 1991 out of
Panipat tahsil. Assandh tahsil was transferred back to Karnal in July, 1991.
Present position of the district in 2011 Census is that it contains 3 tahsils,
namely, Panipat (76 villages and Panipat MCL, Kachrauli C.T., Kabri C.T.,
Sikanderpur C.T., Asan Khurd C.T., Panipat Taraf Ansar C.T., Panipat Taraf
Makhdum Zadgan C.T., Ugra Kheri C.T., Panipat Taraf Rajputan C.T., Sec. 11&12
Part II C.T., and Kheri Nangal C.T.), Israna (28 villages and no urban area) and
Samalkha (82 villages and Samalkha MC).
Administratively, the Deputy Commissioner is the overall incharge of the
general administration in the district and performs the duties of the District
Magistrate and the District Collector. Below the Deputy Commissioner is the
Additional Deputy Commissioner who assists the Deputy Commissioner in the
work relating to general administration, rural development, etc. The Deputy
Commissioner along with ADC, Chief Executive Officer of Zila Parishad,
Superintendent of Police and other senior officers of the district looks after the
development and regulatory functions in the district."
