The elections will be conducted by Surinder Panchal and Pankaj Sharma. The
last date for filing nominations is Jan 29 and the final list of the candidates
will be prepared by Jan 30. Stating the same, Ajay Singla, President, PCDA
mentioned, “We have re-scheduled the elections to encourage maximum
participation from existing members. All members' shops will closed after 5:00pm
on the day of the elections. We will be holding a meeting during which we will
raise issues and address pending matters.”

The present committee has been working towards engaging more partners to take
part in the elections. Although about six to seven new members will be present
on the day of the elections, they will not be able to vote because as per the
committee rules, a new member is required to serve membership for one year
before getting the right to vote.

“Currently we have 29 members in our association and we have been working
hard to increase the number so that the elections are fair and witnesses maximum
participation,” said Singla.

The association currently has four committees which include discipline,
pricing, service and maintenance and the fourth one deals with matters related
to companies and vendors. All the above committees have three members each. A
financial committee was also set up post-2008 elections to resolve financial
issues emerging in the region.
