He pointed out that both these tehsils, have approximately area of about 50 thousand acres and population more than one lakh and 50 thousand. Sub Division Bishnah will not only cater to the needs of more than 33 revenue villages of 28 Patwar Halqas and 35 Panchyat Halqas but will have two tehsils, two blocks, 4 Niabats besides two Municipal Committees of Bishnah and Arnia towns.
