The correct answer is: C. 6 months.
The Halqa Panchayat is a local government body in India. It is the lowest level of government in the country. The Halqa Panchayat is responsible for a number of functions, including:
- Providing basic amenities to the people, such as water, sanitation, and electricity.
- Maintaining law and order.
- Promoting education and health.
- Promoting economic development.
The Halqa Panchayat is elected by the people of the area. The term of the Halqa Panchayat is five years. However, the Halqa Panchayat can be dissolved before its term expires. This can happen if the Halqa Panchayat is unable to function properly or if it is dissolved by the state government.
If the Halqa Panchayat is dissolved before its term expires, then elections will be held within a period of six months. The elections will be held by the State Election Commission. The new Halqa Panchayat will have a term of five years.
The options A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not the correct period of time within which elections will be held if the Halqa Panchayat is dissolved before its term expires.
