The state cabinet on Tuesday approved to dissolve the ADC, law minister Ratan Lal Nath said.
In March, the poll was deferred for an indefinite period due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The tenure of the district council is scheduled to end on May 17.
“Governor of Tripura Ramesh Bais will hold charge of TTAADC areas till the election as per law. He will choose an administrator to run the ADC, if it is required to do so,” Nath told the mediapersons at Civil Secretariat.
On the issue, chief executive member of TTAADC Radhacharan Debbarma said that the Governor has power to extend the committee’s tenure to one year in case of natural disaster.
“We are waiting for the Governor’s decision,” he said.
