The Punjab government has confirmed that municipal council elections in Kharar, Punjab, will not take place due to ongoing delimitation issues. This decision was announced during a court hearing at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where the government stated it would withdraw the election notification. The Kharar Municipal Council, established in 2014, originally comprised 27 wards. However, in 2021, six villages were incorporated into its jurisdiction, leading to complications regarding their participation in the electoral process. Residents from these villages raised concerns that their rights to vote and contest elections were being infringed upon, as they were excluded from the upcoming polls scheduled for May 26. The court was informed that the delimitation process could not proceed due to the ongoing Census, which further complicated the situation. The government's commitment to defer the elections until all areas within the Kharar Municipal Council are properly delimited reflects the seriousness of the residents' concerns. A detailed order from the court regarding this matter is anticipated.
