A member said there were certain changes in the numbers which will be rectified. He put the new units somewhere between 550 and 600.
“It is a mix of what Ganai report suggested and what the CSC found on its own,” the member said. “We have recommended that the Patwar Halqas be made co-terminus with the existing number of Panchayats which is a separate recommendation excluding the creation of other units – tehsils, sub divisions, blocks and nayabats.”
The cabinet is taking a final call on the CSC recommendations. Members from the both the parties said the recommendations have taken care of the what the Chief minister wanted.
