Ward Delimitation: The BMC sends the State Election Commission its final draft proposal
- by Webdesk
- 06 Mar 2022
Following the completion of the hearing for those who offered suggestions and complaints on the ward, the BMC presented the final draught plan to the State Election Commission (SEC) on Saturday. The SEC is expected to evaluate the document for another eight days before finalising it.
According to BMC employees who have been tracking the demarcation process, there have been over 70% changes in electoral ward boundaries and over 50% changes in administrative ward boundaries. Six of the new nine wards are Shiv Sena strongholds, thus the BJP has been opposed to the restructure from the beginning.
The State Election Commission (SEC) had directed the BMC to accept recommendations and objections from people and other stakeholders after it approved the ward delimitation draught provided by the civic body. The BMC had a suggestion window available from February 1 through February 14 at 4 P.M.
According to information supplied by senior authorities, the BMC received 812 suggestions and objections up until Monday, with 454 (or 55%) of them filed on February 14. 339 ideas and complaints were filed from the western suburbs, 263 from the eastern suburbs, and 76 from the island city.
On February 22, a hearing on ideas and objections began. On March 2nd, the final report was due to be filed to the SEC. On March
5, however, the same was submitted. Before it is finalised, the SEC will evaluate it again. "We have submitted the draught proposal and will now await the SEC's decision," a senior BMC official stated.
