As part of the final stage of the delimitation process, 24 electoral wards will see further changes to their boundaries by Tuesday. The wards that will have their boundaries redrawn include G/South (Worli, Mahalaxmi, Lower Parel), G/North (Mahim, Matunga, Dadar west), S (Bhandup, Powai), L (Kurla) and R/South (Kandivli) among others.
 
The delimitation exercise in October had already upset a lot of calculations of the political parties with 90% of the city’s 227 electoral wards undergoing changes in their boundaries.
 
A review committee appointed by the state election commission to hear citizens’ suggestions and objections to the exercise accepted 11 complaints on Thursday, based on which the final changes in boundaries of 24 wards will be published on the BMC’s website by Tuesday, said civic officials. The same will be available here on bmcelections.com as well.
 
The complaints include wrongly-marked boundaries that divided one society across two wards, one open play ground across two wards among others.
 
 

A senior civic officer, on the condition of anonymity, said, “The complaints from few big housing complexes that were getting divided across two wards have been considered by the committee. These fresh changes to ward boundaries will also result in the shift of about 1,000 people from one ward to another.”
