Question 1

Why are there different governing bodies for local self-governance in rural and urban areas?

Answer

There are different governing bodies for local self-governance in rural and urban areas because both areas have different needs and challenges. Rural areas require governance focused on agriculture, irrigation, village roads, sanitation, and basic services. Urban areas deal with housing, waste management, traffic, street lighting, and city planning.

Therefore, separate systems ensure that local self-government works efficiently and specifically for each area's unique problems.
