Selection of candidates for Urban Local Bodies (ULB) election would be made on the basis of inputs from the organisation, Jammu and Kashmir Congress President Prof Saif-ud-din Soz said today .
"The selection of right persons would be made on the basis of inputs form the field and the organisation set up, including the District Congress Committee (DCC)," Soz said, addressing a meeting of the DCC Jammu Urban at PCC headquarter here.
Party workers should gear up their activities to strengthen the organisation and also to prepare for elections to the urban bodies, which are due to be held in the state, he said.
 
The Local bodies elections, which were slated to be held in November last year in the state, were cancelled for incorporation of 73rd amendment of the Panchayati Raj Act in Jammu and Kashmir.
A committee has been set up under chairmanship of Soz to give recommendations in this direction.
The issue of reservation and rotation of wards in the Corporation and Municipal Bodies was also discussed in the DCC meeting.
