With the local government polls unlikely to take place before March 19, LG bodies will be brought under the administration of special commissioners, according to government sources.
On that day, the terms of LG bodies extended by one year will end, and the election is scheduled for March 09.
However, no funding coming from the government means the LG polls cannot take place on the due date.
Therefore, municipal councils will be entrusted to urban commissioners and the urban councils and Pradeshiya Sabhas brought under the respective secretaries, said the sources.
