Charkhi Dadri became the twenty-second district of Haryana in which year?
- A.2005
- B.2008
- C.2012
- D.2016
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is D, 2016. The Government of Haryana notified Charkhi Dadri, carved out of Bhiwani district, as the twenty-second district of the state on 1 December 2016, and it remains the newest district. Option A, 2005, is the year Mewat, now called Nuh, was made a district out of Gurgaon, becoming the twentieth district of the state. Option B, 2008, is the year Palwal was separated from Faridabad as the twenty-first district, and because Palwal and Charkhi Dadri are the two most recent additions a candidate often swaps the two years. Option C, 2012, saw no new district created in Haryana at all and is a pure distractor. The safe way to answer every question on the newest districts is to fix the sequence Mewat in 2005, Palwal in 2008 and Charkhi Dadri in 2016, which also settles that the state has had twenty-two districts since 2016.
