Pujari said two rounds of discussions have already been held with the Panchayati Raj department on the issue and if necessary, the state government will set up a commission for this purpose.

"I personally feel the need for more blocks to deliver good governance to the people and meet the needs of the society by making the best use of available resources. The public also wants smaller administrative units for better administration," Pujari told TNIE.
