Banur is sub-tehsil now.


Covers 32 villages, is under Mohali subdivision

Banur, December 12
A long-pending demand of Banur residents for a sub-tehsil covering 32 villages was met today. Prithpal Singh, who was naib tehsildar at Mohali, was given charge as naib tehsildar at Banur.
The 32 villages, that earlier formed a part of the Rajpura subdivision in Patiala district, had been transferred to Mohali district past year on the demand of residents of the area, who faced problems in commuting to the district and subdivisional headquarters.
Of these 32 villages, 18 were under the Dera Bassi subdivision and 14 under the Mohali subdivision, but now, all these were brought under the Mohali subdivision, that would control the sub-tehsil.
Local MLA Raj Khurana conducted the formal inauguration at the market committee office here. Mohali SDM Amit Talwar was also present on the occasion.
