Religious: About 3,000 voters in Chikarada Panchayat in Block Ganjam District Lunda will use their franchise for the first time in 30 years.
The selection is scheduled to be held here on February 18.
After the creation of Panchayat from Randha in 1992, the Village Development Committee decided and chose candidates for Sarpanch’s position, Samiti members and members of the environment were not placed.
“Before submitting their nomination paper, the candidates were used to register with the 44 member development committee to decide their nomination.
A meeting used to be held in the village to choose candidates.
The candidates accept the decision of the villagers, while the committee facilitates to submit their documents for election What is not a breakthrough, “said Bibhudutta Panda, President of the Committee.” Tradition continues until the 2017 election However, the old practices of selected representatives were not removed this year because the competitors were determined, Panda said.
“Now, villagers will choose their representatives through voting.
The development committee will not interfere,” he added.
While three candidates were in a commotion to post Sarpanch, four would try their luck as Samiti members, who were for a woman.
Nine of the 11 members of the selected environment are not most popular, said the source.
