More than 25 existing councilors will be able to contest again
With the implementation of the new roster in the city, more than 25 of the existing councilors will be able to contest again. In the year 2017 also a new roster was installed. At that time also the roster was prepared according to the population. The population has not changed much since then. Only breaking the ward has made a difference. Despite the breakdown of the ward, many councilors can remain contenders. Orders have been issued by Aditya Negi, DC Shimla regarding the roster.
