of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, and all other powers enabling him in

this behalf, the Governor of Punjab is pleased to dissolve the Gram Panchayats,

which have completed the term of five years from the date of their first meeting,

in terms of Article 243E of the Constitution of India and section 15 of the

Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, and to authorize the Director, Rural

Development and Panchayats-cum- Special Secretary to appoint persons from

amongst the Rural Development and Panchayats Department in the rank of

Assistant Engineers, Junior Engineers, Social Education and Panchayat Officer,

availability in the respective Block, as the case may be. The appointed officer

and exercise the powers of such Gram Panchayat, till the elected body assumes
