Many years back I was on my first trip to the City of Raipur in the then-erstwhile State of Madhya Pradesh in Central India.

Too big to manage with rising insurgency, the extra dimension of the state was eventually bifurcated and a new State of Chhattisgarh was born. New State, New Government catapulted Raipur into a state of unprecedented development in India.
