As per the existing provisions of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965 (Mah. XL of 1965), each ward in the Municipal Council elects only one Councillor. While dealing with the health emergency within the areas of Municipal Councils in the State, arose due to Covid-19 pandemic, it is felt necessary to have multi member ward system in civic bodies. After taking the review of such position and with a view to ensure the smooth functioning of the Municipal Councils, the State Government considers it expedient to suitably amend the provisions of the said Act.
2. It is proposed to provide that, each of the wards of the Municipal Council shall elect two Councillors but not more than three Councillors. For that purpose it is proposed to amend section 10 of the said Act, suitably.
3. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965 (Mah. XL of 1965), for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
