Hyderabad: The cabinet, on Thursday, October 23, gave its nod to repeal the two-child restriction for contesting Telangana local body polls.

Though the decision was taken during the previous cabinet meeting held on October 16, it approved amending Section 21 (3) of the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act of 2018, thereby enabling those having more than 2 children to contest the elections.

The state government will bring an ordinance to make the amendment, which will be sent to Governor Jishnu Dev Varma for approval.

(This is a developing story. More details will be added.)
