Government directed by SC to hold election within 4 months of the completion of delimitation exercise
State Election Commissioner Roy P. Thomas called on Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at Raj Nivas on Monday to discuss the measures in place for the conduct of the local body elections later this year. A press note from Raj Nivas said Mr. Thomas briefed the Lt. Governor on the preparations under way for the local body elections in compliance with the orders of the Supreme Court. The local body polls were last held in 2006 in the Union Territory, with the term of office of the then elected municipalities, commune and village panchayats ending in 2011. Since then, the process has been in a state of deep freeze with the ward delimitation exercise hit by delays.
