Panvel: As many as 282 objections and suggestions have been filed on the draft ward structure announced by the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) ahead of the upcoming civic elections. A hearing on these submissions is scheduled for September 18.
Background and Population Basis
This will be the second general election since the formation of the corporation. Around 15 days ago, the PMC released the draft ward plan, prepared on the basis of a population count of 5.09 lakh, as directed by the State Election Commission. While minor changes were introduced, the earlier structure of 20 wards with 78 corporators representing the 110 sq. km area remains largely intact.

Next Steps
