CHANDIGARH:

Addressing the media at the Congress Bhawan in Sector 35, Tewari said the modalities for selecting candidates will be decided in the next few days.

This time, the post will go to a woman as per the city's five-year mayoral rotation system.

The MP urged the UT administration to hold the mayoral polls on February 20, 2025, as the incumbent mayor had assumed office on the same date last year.

Tewari also requested the UT administrator to approve the House resolution providing for a show of hands instead of secret voting to appoint the mayor, senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor.
