Meanwhile the Himachal Pradesh State Election Commission (SEC) has taken a strong exception to the state government's move to postpone the Urban Local Body (UBC) election reservation roster, asserting the the Urban Development Department has no legal mandate to alter a schedule issued by a constitution authority, as per an official statement.
In the letter dated July 10, the SEC said, "Your kind attention is invited towards clause (g) of Article 243P of the Constitution of India read with Section 2(31) of the Himachal Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1994 and Section 2(38) of the Himachal Pradesh Minucipal Corporation Act, 1994, which in unambiguous terms provides that 'population as ascertained at the last preceding census of which the relevant figures have been published' shall be used for the reservation purpose."
The order, signed by Special Secretary (Urban Development) Saurabh Jassal, had instructed that no reservation notification be issued or implemented "until such time as the updated Census data is officially released." Copies of the letter were marked to the Secretary, State Election Commission, and Director, Urban Development.

1 2 L ucknow: Speaker Satish Mahana adjourned the proceedings of the Assembly till Tuesday morning following protest over mistreatment of leader of opposition Mata Prasad Pandey. The first day of the Monsoon Session got inundated in din that prevailed since the beginning, leading to Speaker Satish Mahana rushing for the day's business before adjourning the House until Tuesday morning. As the House session began on Monday, SP member Sangram Yadav stood up and objected to the alleged mistreatment meted out to Pandey when he had gone to meet the traders in Gorakhpur. He urged the Speaker to intervene in the matter. Pandey then stood up and said he was shown black flags and was stopped from proceeding ahead in the CM's constituency. He alleged that it was the handiwork of "BJP workers". After the CM's reply, the SP members jumped into the well of the House and began shouting anti-govt slogans. Pandey then demanded an inquiry into the incident and said that if he is found guilty action should be taken against him and if others are found guilty action should be taken against the alleged protesters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Amid ongoing din, parliamentary affairs minister Suresh Khanna said that it was the political agenda of the SP and there was no need for an inquiry.

"The incident took place at the Mangi Maqbara in Abunagar, where the group, armed with flags, sticks and rods, sought to damage the site, claiming it to be a temple. The protest was organised by the Math Mandir Sanrakshan Sangharsh Samiti, which had called for a march to the site, demanding it be recognised as a Thakur Dwara temple. In response, local authorities had deployed a significant police presence, including officers from various police stations across the district, to maintain law and order," it says.
