Nagaland's Historic Local Body Polls With 33% Women's Quota Today | Read
Today's a big day in Nagaland's political history. The first-ever urban local body elections with 33 per cent reservation for women will be held today. There is however no election in eastern Nagaland region due to a poll boycott called by the ENPO.
Urban local body elections with women's reservation had been a thorny issue in Nagaland. In 2017, an attempt to hold elections with 33 per cent women's reservation had sparked violence.
The Chief Minister then had to resign and the state government had to roll back its poll plans.
