Nagpur MLC By-Election Draft Electoral Roll Reveals Over 850 Electors The Nagpur district administration has released the draft electoral roll for the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Council by-election from the Nagpur Local Authorities' Constituency, which is expected to include over 850 elected representatives from 32 local self-governance bodies across the district. The list, published on May 22, provides details of polling stations and allows eight days for scrutiny, corrections, and objections from stakeholders. The 32 local bodies encompass the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), municipal councils, nagar panchayats, parishads, and cantonment boards. According to the draft, 150 electors are from the NMC city limits, while the majority of the electorate comprises representatives from rural local bodies. The by-election was necessitated after revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule resigned from the Legislative Council following his election to the state assembly. The winning candidate will serve the remainder of the term, which concludes on January 1, 2028. The district administration has made the draft electoral roll and polling station details accessible at designated offices, including the Zilla Parishad, Municipal Corporation, municipal councils, nagar panchayats, and tehsil locations. Additionally, the list is available on the official website of the Nagpur district collectorate. Objections, corrections, and claims must be submitted in writing by May 28 at the office of the Electoral Registration Officer for the Local Authorities' Constituency or the District Collector's office in Nagpur.#nagpur_municipal_corporation #nagpur_district_administration #chandrashekhar_bawankule #nagpur_local_authorities_constituency #nmc_city_limits
1,000 teachers, others skip census duty, admin warns of strict action Around 1,000 teachers and other staff assigned to the upcoming Census 2027 have refused to take up enumeration duties, according to officials from the Nagpur district administration. The authorities have warned that strict measures will be taken against those who continue to avoid their responsibilities. The census operation is being managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and adherence to official directives is mandatory. Officials from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation confirmed that several officers and employees designated as enumerators and supervisors in the Dharampeth zone have not reported for duty. The absentees include a significant number of teachers and staff from schools, colleges, semi-government institutions, private institutions, as well as employees from state and central government offices. Taking the situation seriously, the administration has initiated the process of filing cases against the absent enumerators and supervisors. Department heads of the respective institutions have been instructed to ensure immediate compliance with the orders. Assistant municipal commissioner Rajkumar Meshram of the Dharampeth zone urged all staff to participate in the census work promptly to ensure the smooth execution of the exercise. The census, a critical exercise for data collection, requires the active involvement of enumerators and supervisors to gather accurate information. The administration’s warning signals a commitment to maintaining order and ensuring that the process proceeds without disruption. The incident highlights the importance of institutional cooperation in large-scale administrative tasks.#nagpur_municipal_corporation #nagpur_district_administration #dharampeth_zone #rajkumar_meshram #census_2027
Training for Census officials in Nagpur from March 23 Nagpur: Preparations for the first phase of the Census of India 2027 have accelerated, with the district administration set to begin training sessions for census officials starting March 23. The initiative marks the beginning of field-level readiness for the upcoming houselisting operations. Officials mentioned that a group of master trainers had undergone training in Pune on March 14 and 15 and have now returned to Nagpur to lead local sessions. The training will focus on charge officers and supervisory staff, who will later guide enumerators before the door-to-door data collection process. The sessions will be conducted under the supervision of senior district officials, with both rural and urban teams being trained simultaneously. The programme will cover operational protocols, digital data collection, and coordination mechanisms. For rural areas, the administration has identified 43 charge offices to oversee operations across 13 tehsils, 29 nagar panchayats, and the Nagpur Cantonment region. Each charge officer will supervise 100 to 150 enumeration blocks. In the city, the civic body has planned 10 charge officers per zone, supported by four sub-officers each, along with around five head office officials, taking the total to over 55 officers. The district is expected to deploy over 4,000 enumerators in rural areas, while the NMC will engage around 6,000 enumerators for urban coverage. Each enumerator will handle a block of 600 to 800 residents, with supervisors assigned to monitor small teams. The census will be conducted in two phases, beginning with the houselisting and housing census between April and September 2026, followed by population enumeration in February 2027.#nagpur #nmc #census_of_india_2027 #nagpur_cantonment #nagpur_district_administration
