Women Councillors

A South Korean politician is under fire for his controversial claim that the rise in male suicides is because of the "dominant" role of women in society.

The female protesters demanded an apology from the councillor and action against him. They said they will not budge until the Mayor meets them.

Women won 458 posts of ward councillors, mayor and and deputy mayor in the Bihar municipal polls, the results of which were declared by the State Election Commission on Sunday.

At least 51 per cent of the 250 newly elected councillors in the MCD have declared educational qualifications between Class 5 and Class 12 pass while 66 per cent are in the 41-70 age group, according to a Association for Democratic Reforms report.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday directed his lawmakers and councillors to hold public meetings across Delhi to take feedback from the people about his government's proposal to make travel free for women in public buses and metro.
