Indore, Pune, Lucknow shine at National ULB meet with innovative urban models
Addressing public representatives from across the country after inaugurating the first-ever two-day National Conference on 'Strengthening Constitutional Democracy and the Role of Urban Local Bodies in Nation Building', held at the ICAT-2 Campus Auditorium in Manesar, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said that elected representatives of urban local bodies must fulfil their responsibilities with a clear focus on the vision of Developed India 2047, adopting innovative approaches, strong leadership, and practical skills.
He urged all representatives to take a pledge: 'My corporation, my council, my municipality, and my city should be counted among the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world.'
Birla added that if urban local body representatives step forward with a positive attitude, they can undoubtedly bring dynamic and energetic changes to urban areas. He noted that urban local bodies, as the smallest units of the nation, are now playing a strong and vital role in steering the country in a new direction. The gathering, he said, aimed to explore ways to strengthen India's democratic institutions for a brighter future.

Four months after elections, MCG House yet to meet in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla on Thursday spoke about the importance of regular meetings among elected representatives in municipal corporations. Ironically, this was being said when one of the two municipal corporations of the city — MCG — failed to conduct its inaugural House meeting since the election results were announced on March 12, although a special budget meeting took place on April 8. The LS speaker — while addressing national conference of urban local bodies (ULBs) in Manesar — said he saw in several municipalities that House meetings "did not happen for a year".

Regular meetings hold the officials accountable and bring more transparency, he said. "When elected officials pose questions during these sessions, it enhances transparency and accountability within municipal corporations. Through observations across various municipal corporations, it is evident that meetings are either not conducted for extended periods, sometimes up to a year, or when convened, they are disrupted, leading to agenda approvals without proper deliberation. It is crucial to maintain regular meeting schedules, preferably every one to two months. The meetings should incorporate a zero hour. Moreover, proper discussion should be held on the budget," the LS speaker said. MCG mayor Raj Rani Malhotra could not be reached despite repeated attempts. The councillors told TOI they have been regularly enquiring about the House meetings. However, the meeting schedule has not been fixed yet. Councillor Kuldeep Yadav, who was present at the ULB conference, said, "Every councillor wants the House meetings to happen every month. A meeting of the councillors with the city mayor should happen every fortnight. However, nothing is being done about it. A special budget meeting was held for budget approval. The councillors are keen to address ward-specific concerns through regular House meetings." Councillor Pardeep Padam said, "After the national conference of the ULB gets over, some of the councillors have decided to meet the mayor and MCG officials to push for the House meeting. It has been more than three months since we were elected, but a House meeting to discuss our ward issues has not taken place yet."

Place of Voting: The other voter's choice
Over decades, as EC fine-tuned voting systems and bolstered outreach efforts, the number of voters have steadily but surely increased. Yet, many are left out because they are registered in their home cities/towns/villages while residing elsewhere, mostly for work reasons. Returning to their constituencies to cast their ballot can, indeed, be an issue. To address this, EC has suggested that citizens should register only in constituencies where they reside, not where their 'permanent address' lies. This aligns with Section 19 of the Representation of the People Act 1950. The issue is particularly sensitive in states like poll-readying Bihar, where outmigration is high. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, voter turnout in Bihar was 56%, while the national average was 66%. A major reason for this gap is the inability of emigre workers to return home to vote. Many still prefer to vote in their hometowns or villages due to family ties, land ownership, continued access to state benefits (since portability of benefits is yet to be fully implemented) or because of investing in the future of such a place. While EC rightly notes that political parties often pay for voter travel - encouraging an unhealthy quid pro quo - stopping it is an administrative task. Requiring people to vote only where they live is not justified. Along with proxy voting for NRIs and postal ballots for service personnel, Form 6 allows migrants to vote from their place of residence for local candidates. But this has not been popular. EC has also experimented with solutions, including a pilot project using remote voting machines and postal ballots. These alternatives must be pursued, rather than enforcing a rule that fixes voters to their workplaces. It must be their choice.
