Haryana Sarpanch Election

Polling to elect sarpanches and panches in the second phase of the panchayat polls in nine districts of Haryana began on Saturday morning, officials said.

A newly-elected woman sarpanch has been arrested for her alleged involvement in 'booth capturing' in the November 2 panchayat elections here, police said on Monday.

A hilarious election poster-cum-manifesto of one of the candidates contesting for the post of Sarpanch in Haryana's Sirsadh village is gaining traction on social media.

Haryana will likely become the first state where villagers will have the power to recall panchayat members who are not doing their duties, Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said a day before leaders sit for the monsoon session of the assembly. He said they will work to ensure every second village has a woman as the sarpanch.

Till two days ago, Ram Kishen Grewal was an unknown soldier who served for nearly 30 years and then won the election in his village in Haryana to serve as its sarpanch (head of village council) after he retired.

A newly elected village head was shot dead allegedly by the son of the candidate who lost to him in panchayat polls in Haryana's Khedi Taloura village.
