MUMBAI, June 11 -- The state government on Tuesday ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to prepare the draft on ward formation for the BMC polls and made it clear that the BMC will go for polls with 227 seats. Along with the BMC, the government also issued orders to all other civic bodies to start work on the draft on ward formation, making it clear that not the current population figures but the figures from the last census - 2011 census - should be used in ward formation and reservation. Except for Mumbai, there will be four elected members in each ward. In the BMC and the class A, B, C municipal corporations, municipal commissioners will prepare the draft, while in the class D municipal corporations, district collectors will have this authority. After the Supreme Court decision on conducting the local body elections in Maharashtra in mid-May, the state election commission had written to the state government, asking it to start the formation of wards for all local bodies going for elections. Accordingly, on Tuesday, the state government issued separate orders regarding the preparation of draft on ward formation to all civic bodies. As per the estimates, it would be completed in around two months and submitted to the state election commission. The commission wants to complete the process of ward formation before September 16 - the date on which the Supreme Court will hear ongoing petitions on local body elections. The commissioners and district collectors of civic bodies will prepare the draft on ward formation and submit it to the state election commission. After the commission approves it, the commissioners and collectors will publicise it and complete the process of inviting objections and suggestions, and then submit it again to the commission. After the commission approves the draft, the commissioners and collectors will then declare it in their areas....
