The ward delimitation will be completed by September 4.
According to NMC officials, there will be no change in wards and the number of corporators from the civic polls in 2017. The number of wards will be 31, and the corporators will be 122, as they were during the previous civic polls in 2017. But there may be some changes in the areas of some wards, said NMC officials.
In the 2017 civic polls, BJP emerged victorious with a majority, winning 66 seats, followed by Shiv Sena with 35 seats, both Congress and NCP six seats each, MNS five, independents three, and RPI (A) one seat. The five-year term of the civic body ended in March 2022, but the civic elections were delayed by over three years.

On campuses, ‘good riddance' vs murmurs against closure notice on union rooms
Kolkata: After the Calcutta High Court ordered the higher education department to keep student union rooms closed across colleges and universities, some felt it was a 'good riddance' while others expressed concerns about the closure order, especially since college elections were suspended for the past seven years. In the recent past, maintaining control over union rooms and student activities triggered numerous clashes across campuses. From organising Saraswati Puja at Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri Law College to vandalism at Jadavpur University — in every case, union rooms were considered to be the root of all troubles. Calcutta University interim VC Santa Datta De's decision to lock union rooms across seven campuses after an incident at the Rajabazar campus — where some former students reportedly consumed alcohol in the union room — had prompted a student agitation. Datta said: "The decision we took has been proven absolutely right after the high court order. I raised my voice against all such illegal activities in union rooms. Now it has become easier for other principals to lock union rooms following the high court order. However, I believe that there should be academicians in the college governing bodies instead of local political leaders; only then can political influence on the campuses be restricted." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Several principals across colleges seemed quite relieved after the order came. Jogesh Chandra Chaudhuri Day College principal Pankaj Roy said: "I tried several times to shut the union room but it became difficult due to a section of students. We closed the union room immediately after the court order." Another principal, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "There has been no union elections since 2017. We are helpless because we cannot instruct students to vacate union rooms because past students and even local leaders have free access there. However, after this order, it will be easier for us to restrict such activities." On the other hand, leaders of different campuses were somewhat upset. One TMCP neta, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "We organize several activities that we cannot stop because several students need help for many issues." Another TMCP neta said: "We used to sit in the union room during college hours; now if college doesn't permit it, we will not sit there. This is not a big deal."

Trade pact: Jakarta's $34 billion play to secure tariff deal with US
The US and Indonesia will sign trade and investment pacts worth $34 billion as part of Jakarta's efforts to secure a tariff deal ahead of a July 9 deadline. Indonesia plans to invest in the US and purchase American agricultural goods and $15.5 billion of energy products under a memorandum of understanding to be signed on July 7, Coordinating Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto told reporters in Jakarta on Thursday. While the MoU is part of Indonesia's negotiations to secure lower US tariffs , it doesn't represent a final agreement, Hartarto said. "We have to see later the final announcement by our US counterparts," he added when asked about a tariff rate deal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo The planned MoU involves Danantara, a new sovereign wealth fund under President Prabowo Subianto that manages Indonesia's state-owned enterprises, and private entities including flag-carrier Garuda Indonesia , instant noodle maker Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur and a local feed mills association, he said. Hartarto, who is leading Indonesia's efforts to reduce Washington's planned 32% tariffs on Indonesian imports, said Southeast Asia's largest economy aims to secure more favorable terms than neighboring Vietnam. Hanoi, which had a $123.5 billion trade surplus with the US last year, struck a deal late Wednesday for a tariff rate of 20%, down from a proposed 46%. Live Events Southeast Asian nations, among the hardest hit by US President Donald Trump's planned tariffs, have been racing to seal trade deals with Washington before the July 9 cutoff to avoid increased rates. Indonesia has already eased or eliminated some import restrictions as part of a bid to shrink its $18 billion trade surplus with the US. Jakarta has also pledged to remove non-tariff barriers and boost imports of US products, potentially including oil, liquefied petroleum gas and soybeans. Hartarto also said the US has no concerns about transshipment involving Indonesia and hadn't broached the topic in trade discussions, unlike in Vietnam.

AIUDF will fight 2026 assembly elections alone, says Jania MLA
1 2 Guwahati: All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has decided not to forge an alliance with any political party for the assembly elections to be held early next year and fight the battle of ballots alone. The organising secretary of the party and MLA of Jania assembly constituency, Hafiz Rafiqul Islam, said except the 2021 assembly elections, the party fought the previous three assembly elections alone. "Similarly, the party has decided to fight the ensuing elections alone, and party president Badruddin Ajmal has approved the decision," he added. However, he said the party will consider it later if any political party comes forward with a proposal of alliance. "AIUDF will not send any proposal for an alliance to any political party," he added. Islam, who is also a member of the 126-member legislative assembly, said the party will contest only 35 out of 126 seats. Since it will contest 35 seats, the party will step into the electoral battleground with new energy and full focus. AIUDF, which was a partner in the Congress-led Mahajot, contested in 20 seats in the 2021 assembly elections and won 16 of them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

"Regarding all these decisions of the executive meeting, which was held a few days ago, we met Badruddin Ajmal on Wednesday. He has given approval to the decisions," Islam added.
