Which district was created in 2008 as the twenty-first district of Haryana?
- A.Palwal
- B.Nuh
- C.Panchkula
- D.Fatehabad
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Palwal. Palwal was separated from Faridabad district in 2008 and became the twenty-first district of Haryana; it now belongs to the Faridabad division along with Faridabad and Nuh. Option B, Nuh, was created three years earlier, in 2005, under the name Mewat, and was the twentieth district of the state; the two are the easiest pair in this chapter to confuse because they are neighbours and were created in the same decade. Option C, Panchkula, is a much older district: it was carved out of Ambala in 1995. Option D, Fatehabad, was cut out of Hisar in 1997, in the same year that Jhajjar was created out of Rohtak. Fixing the three dates 2005, 2008 and 2016 in order settles most questions on the newest districts of the state.
