Imphal, June 15:
The earlier decision of the State Government to modify the existing structure of Gram Panchayat ahead of the Panchayat elections scheduled for September 28 this year is unlikely to be implemented.
An official source informed that a delimitation committee necessary for the modification of Gram Panchayats has not been constituted as yet and the State Government has not taken any decision on the matter.
Nevertheless, it is reported that the matter� whether the existing structure of the Gram Panchayat will be modified before the Panchayat elections or not, or whether the Panchayat elections will be deferred� will be discussed in a cabinet meeting, informed the source.
It may be recalled here that in the recent Assembly session Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Md Allaudin Khan stated that the existing structure of Gram Panchayat will be modified.
