The district was officially notified, marking a historic moment in Assam’s administrative landscape. Bajali district was carved out of the existing Barpeta district, effectively becoming the 35th district of Assam.

“For administrative expediency and in the interest of public convenience, the Governor of Assam is pleased to create the administrative district Bajali with its headquarters at Madan Rauta Nagar, Pathsala,” the order signed by Avinash Joshi, additional chief secretary, said.

The geographical limits of Bajali district will be co-terminus with the newly delimited legislative assembly constituency of Bajali, it said.

The order said an already notified Cabinet sub-committee will identify more geographical areas which may be added to the new district.

Bajali was among the four districts which were merged with the original districts on December 31, 2022, to facilitate the delimitation process.

The other three were Hojai, Biswanath and Tamulpur.

While the other three de-notified districts regained their recognition in August following a state Cabinet decision after the completion of the delimitation exercise, the notification for Bajali was not issued.
