Civic body prepares draft proposal on delimitation
The Tiruchi Corporation has prepared a draft proposal on delimitation of wards based on the 2011 census.
The move comes in accordance with a Bill passed in the State Assembly recently.
As
per the proposal, there will be no change in the number of wards — 65 —
in the Corporation. However, the areas of wards have been changed.
While new areas have been added to wards that had lesser population,
bigger wards have been reduced.
Equal population
The
exercise has been done based on the 2011 census. The wards have been
either reduced or increased depending upon the population. Each ward
will have almost equal population, a senior civic official told
The Hindu
.
The draft proposal has been displayed in all four zones of the
Corporation for public viewing. It will be displayed in taluk offices in
the city too. People can submit their grievances or suggestions by
January 2.
If necessary, the draft proposal will be modified by
taking into account suggestions. The final proposal will be sent to the
State Election Commission for final approval.
