The PMK Thursday called for the creation of eight new districts in Tamil Nadu for smooth administration.
Legislators of the party, which is an ally of the United Progressive Alliance as well as the DMK government in the state, raised the issue in the assembly.
PMK founder S. Ramadoss later said that Villupuram, Coimbatore, Salem and Vellore districts should be divided. 'Each of these districts have more than 10 assembly constituencies and are too big to administer,' he told reporters.
There are 30 districts in Tamil Nadu, with Krishnagiri being the last one to be created in 2004 by bifurcating the Dharmapuri district.
Last week, the DMK government had announced that the central Perambalur district would be divided to form another district with headquarters at Ariyalur.
