Elections of village councils in 31 villages could not be held along with the rest of the state on April 30 last year as no nominations were filed to contest the polls due to threats from the Hmar People's Convention (Democrats) militants.
The MSEC announced the election after the HPC (D) publicly announced that the militant group would not object to holding the village council polls.
