Sarpanches to be sworn in next week
A state-level “oath-taking ceremony” of sarpanches, who were elected on October 15, will be held in the coming week.
The government is proposing to hold the ceremony at Sarabha, the native village of freedom fighter Kartar Singh Sarabha. CM Bhagwant Mann is likely to administer oath to 10,031 sarpanches there.
However, the sarpanches of villages in Muktsar, Barnala, Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur districts, where byelections are due on November 13, will be administered the oath later.
The panches will be administered the oath at district-level functions to be chaired by Cabinet ministers.
