TN local body polls to be announced 15 Sept

The Tamil Nadu state election commission is likely to announce the dates of the rural local body polls on September 15. The elections are to be held in the nine new districts of the state.

Elections would be held by the end of September and the schedule would be announced by September 15.

The Supreme Court had in June directed the state election commission to announce local polls by September 15. This includes publication and notification of schedule.

The commission had requested the apex court to postpone the elections citing the raging the Covid-19 pandemic but the court directed to conduct elections by September.
