On 21 June 2007, the [[Government of Karnataka|Government]] announced the cabinet approval for the creation of two more districts, [[Ramanagara District|Ramanagara]] and [[Chikballapur district|Chikkaballapura]] were formed from the bifurcation of [[Bangalore Rural District|Bangalore Rural]] and [[Kolar District|Kolar]] respectively.<ref name="newdis">{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-08-06/bangalore/27961491_1_new-districts-ramanagaram-taluks|title=2 new districts notified in Bangalore|work=Online Edition of The Times of India, dated 2007-08-06|accessdate=2007-08-09|date=6 August 2007}}</ref>
