The Election Commission will notify on Thursday the July 27 byelections to 12 Assembly constutuencies in Telangana region.

The High Court’s verdict on Wednesday to hold bypolls to Vemulawada and Sircilla paved the way for simultaneous election of all the 12 constituencies which fell vacant in T-region. 

The byelections to the two seats had been withheld as the petitioners sought to be declared elected from the two constituencies.
