Elections in Jammu and Kashmir for panchayats, urban local bodies (ULB), and the legislative assembly are expected to be held after the Lok Sabha elections later this year, The Indian Express reported, citing sources. The J&K residents have been without assembly representation since 2018. After local bodies for cities and towns ceased to exist, the tenure of 4,892 village panchayats ended on Tuesday. However, the District Development Councils (DDCs) continue to exist following their elections in 2020.
