    DC issued roster for Shimla Municipal Corporation elections

    The Deputy Commissioner (DC) today issued the roster for the Shimla Municipal Corporation (SMC) elections, to be held later this year.

    The DC was appointed Administrator of the SMC after elections could not be held even on the completion of the term of the House last year. As the issue of delimitation of wards being challenged in the court, the elections to the oldest and most prestigious MC in the state could not be held on time.

    The previous BJP regime had enhanced the number of wards from 34 to 41 after holding a delimitation exercise that was challenged in the court by some councillors. The Congress had won the previous SMC poll and the prestige of the party would be at stake to ensure that it retains the biggest urban body of the state.

    As per the roster, out of 34 wards, 14 have been reserved for women. Three wards each have been reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Castes (Women).

    The 14 wards reserved for women are Ruldu Bhatta, Kaithu, Totu, Majhat, Kachighatti, Tutikandi, Ram Bazaar Ganj, Lower Bazaar, Sanjauli Chowk, Lower Dhalli, Malyana, Panthaghatti, Kasumpti and New Shimla.

    The three wards reserved for SCs are Vikasnagar, Nabha and Annandale. The three wards reserved for SC (women) include Khalini, Krishnagara and Phagli.

    The remaining 14 wards are Bharari, Summer Hill, Boileauganj, Jakhu, Benmore, Engine Ghar, Upper Dhalli, Shanti Vihar, Bhattakuffar, Sangti, Chotta Shimla, Kangana Dhar, Pateog and Kanlog.

    WPL 2023: After a riveting and action-oriented two weeks, the group stage of the inaugural season of WPL is set to close out today. Three teams- Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, and UP Warriorz-are certain to go through to the next stage. But the emerging question is who will end the table on top to directly qualify for the final.

    The 5-time tournament that began on March 4 is at its business end as three teams have qualified for the next stage. While the IPL has playoffs, the Women’s Premier League has a different setting. Here, the team that will top the group will see itself directly qualifying for the final. As for the second and third-placed teams, they will play an eliminator, the winner of which, will be the second finalist. Thus, as the final day has appeared the suspense regarding who will top the chart is still intact. The final picture of the WPL League Standings is also going to pop out today.

    All three teams that have qualified will be in action today, and hence the final picture of the WPL league standings is also going to pop out today. So, what’s going to be the qualification scenario? Here’s what the calculators tell us.

    How can Delhi Capitals directly qualify for WPL 2023 final?
    Currently, Delhi Capitals are at the top of the table and carrying a healthy Net Run Rate of +1.978. They have a cushion over Mumbai, who have an NRR of +1.725. To qualify for the finals DC don’t have to do anything fancy, they just have to secure a victory over UPW in their final league match to break the threshold of the WPL 2023 final.

    How can Mumbai Indians directly qualify for WPL 2023 final?
    Mumbai Indians, who were leading the WPL points table till yesterday, have depleted in form. They have lost both their last encounters and now they have found themselves in a situation where they not only have to win their last match but also have to hope that DC does not win. To get direct entry into the final, MI have to first win their last group stage match over RCB, and in any case, If DC win or UPW win their last encounter, Indians have to hope that their win margin is more than the winning margin of either DC or UPW by 33 runs. In the case of batting second such an equation does not hold.
