Nagpur. In the midst of the ever-increasing excitement regarding the municipal elections, the scheduled time for objections and suggestions regarding the division composition has ended on February 14. Even though there were only 10 objections on the first day, but on the last day there was a lot of objections and suggestions. After 44 objections received on Monday, a total of 122 objections have been received regarding the composition of the division.
It is noteworthy that on 1 February, a new division composition was announced by the State Election Commission regarding the 3-member division method. According to the objections received by the Municipality, some people believe that even though the 3-member division is a creation, its scope is quite large. Apart from this, its demography is also peculiar. It will not be possible for any elected councilor to keep an eye on such a large division.
double the names of some settlements
According to sources, the names of settlements in some divisions have doubled. Due to the fragmentation of the same settlement and being included in different divisions, the name of the same settlement has come in different divisions. The objectors believe that after the election in this way, the voters of the same settlement will have to go to different councilors for the problem of their area. It would have been appropriate to keep at least one settlement entirely in a single division. Apart from this some divisions are divided into 2 assembly constituencies. There are many such complaints. Some objections have also been received regarding the name of the division. According to experts, if there is any technical problem in all these objections, then some changes can be made. But it is not possible to make any change in the prescribed limits in the composition of the division.
Reddy will hear the objections
According to the guidelines issued by the State Election Commission regarding the creation of the new division, objections and suggestions were accepted till 3 pm on February 14. Which will be heard on February 26. On behalf of the State Election Commission, the Principal Secretary of the Forest Department B.Venugopal Reddy has been appointed for the hearing.
