In a key administrative move ahead of the upcoming BMC elections, the government on Monday published the gazette notifying the boundaries for 227 electoral wards.

Last month, authorities heard 494 suggestions and objections from citizens on the draft ward boundaries, after which a revised draft was sent to the urban development department. The department forwarded the final notification to the State Election Commission (SEC) last week, and the SEC approved the final ward boundaries on Monday.
