Counting is going on for the first round of the Bihar municipal council election. In addition to Ward Councilor, elections have been held for Chief Councilor and Deputy Chief Councilor in Nagar Panchayat and Municipal Council. Earlier, people in Bihar only chose ward councilors. This time, all three positions were chosen directly by the general public. In the municipal corporation, the mayor and deputy mayor will also be chosen by the people. At the place where votes were counted in Katihar, the police used lathi charges on the crowd and supporters who couldn’t be stopped. People can also view the result update at sec.bihar.gov.in.
