Punjab State Election Commissioner Raj Kamal Chaudhuri on Wednesday announced the schedule of the gram panchayat polls. The announcement came days after the state Rural Development and Panchayat Department issued a notification that elections to over 13,000-gram panchayats in Punjab will be held by October 20. The Rural Development and Panchayat Department had dissolved the panchayats, which had completed a five-year term in February.
