Badnore gives nod to MC ward delimitation in Chandigarh

The administration is likely to notify the new wards within this week

UT administrator VP Singh Badnore has approved the final report of the ward delimitation committee, and the administration is likely to notify the new wards of the Chandigarh municipal corporation within this week.

The total number of wards remain 35, as was in the draft notification. However, acting on objections raised by residents in a few areas, the committee reorganised boundaries of some of the newly proposed wards.

Major changes have been made in wards covering some parts of Manimajra (or Sector 13) and Sector 38 West, which have been retained with the adjacent urban areas.

The UT administration on December 9 notified the draft notification for delimitation, increasing the number of wards from 26 to 35. The committee considered around 180 objections to the draft notification.
