Jaipur, Nov. 10 -- The Rajasthan government has begun the process of repealing the restriction that bars people with more than two children from contesting panchayati raj and urban local body elections, a senior official said on Sunday. The Panchayati Raj department has already forwarded drafts of the proposed amendments to the law department for approval, with a similar draft soon to be sent by the department of local self-government, the official said. Once the law department approves the draft, the official said, it will be placed before the state cabinet for approval.P6
