Jammu and Kashmir Chief Electoral Officer, Shailendra Kumar informed that Panchayat elections on the vacant seats will be conducted in eight phases in the region in the month of March for which the ballot boxes will be used.
According to the Chief Electoral Officer, 346 polling stations were categorised as hypersensitive in this phase.
To make the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) the true harbingers of socio-economic development, the amendments will ensure well defined taxation powers to the Panchayats for generation of adequate resources by themselves.
