Preparations for panchayat and Urban Local Bodies (ULB) elections in the state are on course and the final electoral roll will become available before March 31, Governor N N Vohra was conveyed this by Jammu Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Shantmanu during a review today.
The Governor observed that holding of panchayat and ULB elections in the State this year will enable democratic decentralisation of powers to the institutions at the grass-root level in both the rural and urban areas.
The timely holding of panchayat elections would secure the effective participation of the people in the decision making process and, besides, the elected representatives to oversee the implementation of the developmental programmes relating to their areas, Vohra said.
He will hold separate discussions with the leaders of all political parties for evolving the schedule of panchayat and ULB elections, the Raj Bhawan spokesperson said.
