Navi Mumbai Nov 11 ( UNI) In the lottery for the reservation of seats for the upcoming Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections, announced on Tuesday, women have once again asserted their dominance.
According to the draw held at the Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium in Vashi, as many as 56 out of the total 111 corporator seats have been reserved for women.

Finally, after five years, as per the directives of the Supreme Court, the election process began this year, with the reservation lottery marking the first stage.
