SC extends Manipur panchayat polls deadline despite opposition
The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a petition challenging the High Court of Manipur's decision to extend the deadline for panchayat polls in the state. The court's order allows the polls to be held within a revised timeframe, which was initially set for March but has been pushed back due to various reasons. This move comes after several opposition parties and individuals had filed a petition against the High Court's order, arguing that it would disrupt the democratic process. The decision is seen as a significant development in the ongoing panchayat elections in Manipur.
