Residents of Harsila village in Kapkot, Bageshwar, unanimously elected former village head Harish Negi as sarpanch on Friday. His selection was completed without a contest after villagers agreed on his name during a gram panchayat meeting.
The selection process was conducted in the presence of Bhagwati Joshi. The development means Harsila completed its sarpanch selection through consensus rather than a contested process.
Other village selections
Kundan Singh Gadhia was elected unopposed again in Lili. Amar Ram was also chosen again without opposition in Chaura.
The 3 villages completed their selections after residents reached agreement on the candidates. The process covered the appointment of sarpanches in the gram panchayats.
Naukodi process cancelled
The selection could not be completed in Naukodi because 3 candidates were seeking the sarpanch . Villagers failed to reach a common agreement, so the selection process there had to be cancelled.
The report does not provide a new date or further procedure for Naukodi. The immediate outcome therefore differs from Harsila, Lili and Chaura, where candidates were selected unopposed.
Rajendra Hardiya, Basant Joshi, Govind Bisht, gram pradhan Mamta Koranga, former pradhan Prem Singh Koranga, Harish Mehta, Guddu Pathak and Ummed Gadhia were present during the proceedings.
Conclusion
Harish Negi’s unopposed selection completed the sarpanch process in Harsila, while Lili and Chaura also reached consensus. Naukodi’s process was cancelled after villagers could not agree among 3 candidates.
