Hyderabad: The Telangana government has released a G.O on reservations for upcoming local body elections in the state. The order outlines the rules that will guide the allocation of reservation categories for posts including sarpanch and ward members. The government said that reservations for these positions have now been finalized based on the new guidelines.
According to the information provided, the Telangana government stated that reservation in local body elections should not exceed 50 percent. This cap will apply across all categories and will decide how the positions are distributed during the polls. The announcement marks an important administrative step ahead of the local body election schedule. It also sets the framework within which the election authorities will implement the reservation structure.
Meanwhile, officials emphasized that the G.O directly addresses the reservation process for sarpanch and ward members. The guidelines are expected to provide clarity to district and mandal-level bodies as they prepare electoral rolls and finalize seat allotments. Therefore, the order ensures that all local bodies follow a uniform reservation pattern across Telangana. The government’s decision also aligns with previous legal directions on maintaining the 50 percent ceiling.
Later, the release of the G.O is likely to help local administrations begin the technical steps needed before notification of the elections. It also signals that the state has completed internal consultations on the reservation matrix. However, no further details were included in the given input regarding category-wise distribution, timelines or other administrative processes. The article therefore focuses only on the confirmed information that reservations have been finalized and the 50 percent cap will be applied.
The government stated that these guidelines will be used while implementing reservations for the local body elections. The G.O is now expected to guide officials as they move toward conducting the elections under the updated framework. (Maxim News)
