Raipur, 16 September 2021. There is an atmosphere of happiness among the people of this area after the announcement of the Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel to make Sarangarh-Bilaigarh a new district. In this harmony, residents of Bilaigarh area under the leadership of Parliamentary Secretary Mr. Chandradev Rai reached the Chief Minister’s residence office in the capital this evening in large numbers and thanked Chief Minister Mr. Baghel. On this occasion Vice-Chairman of Surguja Development Authority Mr. Gulab Kamro and MLA Mr. Ram Kumar Yadav were present.
Addressing the people, Chief Minister Shri Baghel said that decentralization of power is being done to bridge the gap between the administration and the people. With the formation of new districts, people will get the benefits of public welfare schemes quickly and development works will be accelerated. It is worth mentioning that Sarangarh-Bilaigarh is the border area of the state, from this area the border of Bargarh district of Odisha state is bordered. The distance of Sarangarh is about 52 kms from district headquarter Raigarh and about 80 kms from district headquarter Balodabazar of Bilaigarh and Sarsiwa. Due to the distance of these areas from their respective district headquarters, it was difficult to travel to the district headquarters for government work and other purposes. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has given the gift of a new district by respecting the public sentiments of the Sarangarh-Bilaigarh region, so that the people of this region can also join the mainstream and move towards rapid development.
