Mumbai Civic Polls Likely Delayed Until Late November
The timeline for Mumbai's local elections has shifted.
The process of setting the boundaries for voting areas is taking longer, with the final announcement pushed back.
Because of this, the elections, originally planned for before Diwali, are now expected to happen at the end of November.
New rules now involve state officials, and the official ward boundaries are to be announced in early October, which will be followed by the election process.
Ward boundary final announcement schedule has been extended.
Civic body polls are expected to be postponed to November-end.
The earlier timeline aimed for polls before Diwali (October 21-22).
New directives include UDD secretaries and extend the finalization of ward boundaries.
Final ward boundary notification is now expected between October 3-6.
