“The area under the municipal corporation of Manesar limits has been divided into 20 wards. According to the data from the state government for the same, over 1.76 lakh families come under the corporation in Manesar, out of which 76,000 are eligible voters,” said Yadav after chairing a meeting of the ad hoc committee constituted for delimitation of wards in Manesar.

Yadav said that based on these estimates, they would accommodate about 7,000-9,000 families or over 4,000 voters in each ward. After discussion and agreement with the members of the ad hoc committee, they would call a meeting of the committee next week and then send the final draft to the government for approval after reaching a consensus.

The district administration will conduct elections for Mansear municipal corporation for the first time. The tenure of the councillors in the Gurgaon municipal corporation ended on November 2.
