Even though the State Election Commission is yet to announce the date
for urban body elections, Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) has
finished around 90 per cent of the work for the polls ahead.
Berhampur
Municipal Corporation which had opened an election cell on its premises
in April last year, under the supervision of an additional district
magistrate, on Monday presented the voters and booths list at an all
party meeting to facilitate submission of objections, if any.
The Municipal body has a total of 2,25,909 voters in its 40 wards.
Sources said that the Municipality authorities have planned to set up 219 booths.
Leaders
of different political parties were told at the meeting that their
objections regarding voters and booths list need to be submitted in the
election cell by Tuesday as the final list is scheduled to be sent to
the State Election Commission for approval on June 7.
