KARACHI, April 4: Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim announced the creation of three new districts, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allahyar and Matiari. Addressing a press conference at the Chief Minister House here on Monday, he said the three were being created out of the Hyderabad District. The notification had been issued, he added.

He pointed out that earlier three districts had been created in the province and the district of Umerkot had been restored.

The people were very happy of that because it was beneficial for them.

Arbab Rahim was of the view that the creation of new administrative units benefitted the people in terms of development and other works.

He pointed out that the Hyderabad District consisted of a population of about three million people.
