Jangipur district is a proposed district to be created in the Indian state of West Bengal. The district would be carved out from the existing Murshidabad district. The district headquarters would be Jangipur.[3][4]
History[edit | edit source]
In January 2020, the Government of West Bengal announced its intention to create the district in the near future. Under this proposal, Jangipur district will be created from seven community development blocks namely Farakka, Samserganj, Suti I, Suti II, Raghunathganj I, Raghunathganj II and Sagardighi in Murshidabad district. 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]
