Imphal, November 22 2020:
Due preparations for urban local body elections have been launched as the term of office of the 23 Municipal Councils and three Nagar Panchayats expires in the first week of February next year.
Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) have already published electoral rolls which would be used in the urban local body election.
However, with the State Government yet to take a concrete decision regarding the election on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Election Commission has not been authorised to notify the election schedule, informed a source.
As many as 279 Councillors and 558 Ward Development Committee Members would be elected through the election.
However, the State Election Department is yet to initiate any preparation for the election to Autonomous District Councils as there has not been any clear instruction from the State Government till date, said the source.
