However, with only 12 candidates submitting nomination papers for these positions, no voting is being held. The nomination paper of Asif Pasha was rejected due to insufficient indicators, leaving 11 candidates in the fray.
Despite the option to withdraw nomination papers until 3 pm on Thursday, June 6, none of the candidates opted to do so. Consequently, all 11 candidates emerged victorious without contest.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
