Will anybody please inform me about the Municipal Election day (in Metro City) regarding whether a private organization will grant special leave (beyond the listed holiday) or if employees have to take leave from their account if they cannot come for casting their vote?

You don’t have to give any Leave for the local elections. There may be guide lines issued by the local election commissioner (DC/Collector) in this regard, you may check for that.

This is a holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act and is mandatory and binding for all employees, including shopkeepers, except for those running continuous production plants which can't be stopped. In any case, the employee has to be facilitated for casting his vote, maybe by a change in duty time/partial holiday, etc.
