Currently, the tenure has already ended for the councils of all the urban local bodies (ULBs) outside the GHMC, as well as for members of gram panchayats, zilla parishad and mandal parishad territorial constituency (MPTC, ZPTC).
Clarity on the date of the polls in these areas is expected after the Cabinet meeting scheduled for this week. A source in the commissioner and director of municipal administration (CDMA) stated that elections to the non-GHMC ULBs will likely be held in August or September.
