Explanation:

After the 1857 Revolt, the British in February, 1858, removed Haryana from the North-Western province and merged it with Punjab. The region of Haryana was divided into two divisions that of Hisar and Delhi. Delhi division consisted of the districts of Delhi, Gurgaon and Panipat while the Hisar division consisted of the districts of Hisar, Sirsa and Rohtak. The districts were further divided into tehsils, tehsils into zilas and zilas into villages. The Punjab Government in 1871 ordered setting up of district committees or Zila Samiti. In 1883, Punjab District Board Act gave more power to these Zila Samities.
