First phase of delimitation of local body wards ‘very critical’: SEC
The HinduAs the delimitation of local body wards in Kerala kicks off in October, the success of this mammoth exercise will hinge heavily on the first phase, covering the grama panchayats, municipalities and corporations. A. Shajahan, Delimitation Commission chairman and the State Election Commissioner, described Phase I as “very critical.” It is in this phase that wards in grama panchayats, municipalities and corporations are freshly mapped and their boundaries redrawn. While the conditions for the delimitation exercise remain largely unchanged, the use of technology for mapping the wards is a first, Mr. Shajahan said. Boundaries of all local body wards in the State will be redrawn based on the 2011 Census figures and government notifications revising the number of wards in the three-tier panchayats, municipalities and corporations.
