Punjab Government Notifies Re-Elections in 28 Patiala Wards Following Supreme Court Order
The Punjab Government has issued a notification to hold re-elections in 28 wards of the Patiala Municipal Corporation by November 18, following a Supreme Court order that set aside the 2024 general elections in these wards. The court later added two more wards, increasing the total to 30, though re-elections in these additional wards are yet to be notified. A judicial monitoring committee led by Justice Rajeev Sharma will oversee the election process to ensure compliance with court directives, with proceedings being videographed for transparency.
