West Bengal State Election Commission (SEC) today said that the SEC might issue notification for holding of Panchayat polls by this week.
"We will go by the order of the court. Let us bring out our notification first, probably by this week, " state election commissioner Mira Pandey told reporters here.
Meanwhile, the SEC and the West Bengal government today held discussions on security arrangements for the upcoming panchayat elections.
The state government was represented by home secretary Basudeb Banerjee and director-general of police Naparajit Mukherjee.
After the SEC raised objection over the choice of July 10 as the date for third phase of Panchayat polls, which coincides with Ratha Yatra festival and start of the holy month of Ramzan, the state government had yesterday suggested an alternative date of July 9.
