Six women from the Aizawl Municipal Council (AMC) staged a walk out on Saturday soon after the council passed a resolution not to create reservation of seats for the fairer sex  in the local council.

During discussion, the women said that if the resolution for reservation of seats for women cannot be taken up “there is no point of their participation in the Aizawl Municipal Council session”.

 

 

However, majority of the members were of the opinion that, reservation of seats for women have been given in AMC and Ward Committee, which they felt was enough.
