The government is open to carve out more taluks other than the 50 already announced, Revenue Minister Kagodu Thimmappa informed the Assembly on Monday.
Replying to a question by T Ramamurthy (Congress), Thimmappa said the government plans to complete the process of creating 50 new taluks, which have already been announced by January next year.
However, there has been a demand for carving out more taluks and the government would consider them if it is feasible, he said.
Ramamurthy sought carving out Parashuramapura taluk in Chitradurga district, D N Jeevaraj and C T Ravi (both BJP) sought carving out of Savali taluk in Chikkamagaluru district and Appachu Rajan (BJP) sought carving out of Cauvery taluk in Kodagu district.
