Question

Consider the following statements regarding notified area committee:
1. A notified area committee is created for the administration of a fast developing town due to industrialisation.
2. It is established by an act of state government.
3. It is partially elected while partially nominated.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

• A. Only 1 and 2
• B. Only 1 and 3
• C. Only 1
• D. Only 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C Only 1

It is established by a notification in the government gazette, this is why it is called as notified area committee. Unlike the municipality, it is an entirely nominated body, that is, all the members of a notified area committee including the chairman are nominated by the state government. Thus, it is neither an elected body nor a statutory body
