Assam initiates steps for delimitation of panchayat seats

Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Ranjeet Kumar Dass on September 11 introduced the Assam Panchayat (Amendment) Bill, 2023, that seeks to delimit the Gaon Panchayat, Anchalik Panchayat, and Zilla Parishad constituencies apart from bringing in other changes. 

“A District Delimitation Commission will be formed with the District Commissioner as the chairperson, the chief executive officer of the Zilla Parishad as the member secretary, and the election officer as a member,” Mr. Dass said.
