CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government has been hinting at holding elections to municipal committees (MCs) by April end, but the state’s counsel on Wednesday informed the Punjab and Haryana high court that no schedule has been released on holding them.
The court has issued notice to the Haryana government on a plea seeking directions to stay MC polls in view of recent judgements of the Supreme Court. When a plea seeking a stay on the state government’s move to hold MC polls by the end of April came up for hearing on Wednesday, the court was informed that the state election commission (SEC) had been preparing to hold elections to the posts of municipal bodies, which included publishing final electoral rolls for municipal bodies.
