The Amendment Delimitation of Wards of Municipal Corporation Order, 1995
This Order establishes the framework for dividing cities into electoral wards across municipal corporations in Punjab. It provides for the creation of a Delimitation Board composed of local government officials, representatives, and community members to draft ward boundaries. The order outlines key rules to ensure wards are geographically compact, have balanced populations, and implement rotating reservations for Scheduled Castes, Backward Classes, and women. It applies to municipal authorities, state government officials, and urban residents in Punjab. By mandating public notice and allowing citizens to submit objections or suggestions, this legislation ensures transparent, fair, and equitable democratic representation in local urban government.
