Deputy CM cum departmental minister gave assurance. symbolic picture
State Bureau, Patna. In the municipal bodies of the state whose area has been expanded or delimited, elections will not be held by dissolving the tenure of the committee.
Deputy Chief Minister cum Urban Development and Housing Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has given this assurance to the delegation of councilors of municipal bodies.
On Tuesday, a delegation of councilors led by Agriculture Minister Ramkripal Yadav had come to meet the Deputy Chief Minister. The delegation said that recently the area of Danapur Nizamat Municipal Council area was expanded by including Faridanpur, Mainpura, Jamsaut, Dhibra, Kothwan, Mustafapur, Bakkarpur, Ashopur and Nasirpur villages.
After delimitation, it was notified by the department in the month of October. Now as per the rules, the State Election Department has to conduct elections afresh after delimiting the ward and constituting the ward.
The demand of the delegation was that since there is still about one and a half year's tenure left for the elected members, it is not appropriate to hold elections in such a situation.
On this, Vijay Kumar Sinha said that the municipal bodies where delimitation has been done and the tenure of the committee there is left, new elections will not be conducted by dissolving them.
He assured the delegation that he would make every effort to ensure that injustice is not done to any elected public representative.
Last year the department had sought proposals for formation of new bodies
Last year, the Urban Development and Housing Department had written a letter to all the district officials requesting them to provide information related to the formation of new municipal bodies and the upgradation of old municipal bodies and area expansion.
For this, in the light of Section 3 and 7 of Bihar Municipal Act (as amended), 2007, a proposal was sought along with the map on the basis of total population, total area, population density, boundary, boundary and police station number etc. of the proposed municipal body.
In light of this, proposals from eight municipal bodies were received, which the department took action as per rules, notified and sent it to Bihar Election Commission.
At present, proposals have been received for 29 municipal bodies, on which no action can be taken till March 31, 2027 as per the instructions of the Census Commission.
