SC extends time till August 31 for holding Bengaluru civic body elections
The Supreme Court has extended the deadline for holding elections for the Bengaluru civic body until August 31. This decision follows a previous ruling that set a June 30 deadline, which was deemed unfeasible due to manpower shortages. The court emphasized that no further extensions would be granted and urged the Karnataka government to activate its electoral machinery.
