Punjab High Court Orders Oversight for Nawanshahr Municipal Council Election
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered the rescheduling of the Nawanshahr Municipal Council election and directed that the oath-taking and election of council leadership be overseen by a court-appointed observer. The election, initially set for July 30, was postponed due to security concerns. The council comprises 19 members with no clear majority, and key political parties including Congress, AAP, BSP, and SAD are vying for support. The court mandated videography and preservation of records to ensure transparency during the August 5 meeting.
