NEW DELHI: A proposal to increase the representation of women in urban local bodies from the present 33% to 50% was under consideration, the government said on Thursday.

"Ministry of urban development has informed that the government is considering a proposal for increasing representation of women in urban local bodies from the present 33% to 50% through an amendment to Article 243T of the Constitution," women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi said.

Replying to a question on the women's reservation bill, Maneka said it has been the government's endeavour to provide for reservation of one-third of seats for women in Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. "The issue needs careful consideration on the basis of consensus among all political parties before a bill for amendment in the Constitution is brought before Parliament," she said.
