Jammu and kashmir panchayat members
After 32 years, J&K panchayat members set to get their
place in Upper House
Nobody, even seniormost legislators, knows precisely when
members of the Panchayati Raj institutions held their last representation in the House of Elders in Jammu
and Kashmir in 1980.
J&K Legislative Council (JKLC) Secretary Mohammad Ashraf Mir appears to be the only man of knowledge by virtue of being the custodian of archives.
The bicameral J&K Legislature has 36 seats in the Upper House four reserved for representatives of panchayat members and two for urban local bodies.
As the Governor is competent to nominate eight members five from academicians, intellectuals and social activists members of the 87- member Lower House choose the remaining 22 members of Legislative Council by voting.
From 1978 to 2011, panchayat elections were held only once by the Farooq Abdullah’s government in 2001-02.
With 44 candidates in the fray for the four seats 28 in Jammu and 16 in the Valley over 33,500 electors will be casting their votes at 155 polling stations in equal number of community development blocks.
