2. Under Article 243ZE, not less than two-thirds of the members of a Metropolitan Planning Committee must be elected by, and from amongst, the elected members of Municipalities and Chairpersons of Panchayats in the metropolitan area.
3. The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act mandates the constitution of a Nagar Panchayat, Municipal Council, or Municipal Corporation across all urban areas without any constitutional exception for industrial townships.
4. The superintendence, direction, and control of the preparation of electoral rolls for, and the conduct of, all elections to Municipalities are vested in the State Election Commission referred to in Article 243K.

  4. D
    1, 2, 3, and 4

Cevap

The correct combination of true statements is 1, 2, and 4 only.
The correct response consists of statements 1, 2, and 4. Statement 1 accurately captures Article 243ZD(2)(a), which sets a mandatory threshold of at least four-fifths elected members for District Planning Committees. Statement 2 correctly reflects Article 243ZE(2)(a), which sets a minimum of two-thirds elected members for Metropolitan Planning Committees. Statement 4 correctly cites Article 243ZA(1), which places municipal elections under the authority of the State Election Commission created under Article 243K. Statement 3 is false because the proviso to Article 243Q(1) explicitly exempts industrial townships from the mandatory constitution of Municipalities.
