All-party poll meet on Jan 10

Bhubaneswar: The State Election Commission (SEC) on Tuesday invited leaders of different political parties for an all-party meeting on January 10 on the forthcoming panchayat elections.
“The tenure of zilla parishads are ending on March second week. Elections should be held before completion of five-year tenure. The SEC has decided to convene a consultation with political parties on free and fair elections,” SEC secretary R N Sahu wrote to political parties.
In the three-tier panchayat elections, ZP polls are fought on partylines while elections for panchayats and panchayat samitis are not held on partylines.
