JKNPP stages protest seeking delimitation of Assembly constituencies 12/1/2015 9:08:12 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 1: Seeking early initiation of process for Delimitation of Assembly constituencies in the state as assured by the BJP in its vision document as well as in the Agenda of alliance, Harsh Dev Singh flayed the neglect of the coalition govt. to take up the Jammu related issues for implementation. Addressing the protesters, Singh said that delimitation of constituencies which forms a part of the CMP deserves a priority consideration with early constitution of Delimitation commission so as to make possible the accomplishment of the Delimitation exercise during the currency of the present coalition which otherwise is a time consuming process. He said that delimitation process involving delimitation of constituencies, re-adjustment of territorial boundaries, rotation of reserved seats, identification of seats for fresh reservation, reservation of seats as proposed for women etc. should be completed in a time bound manner so that next elections are held as per the census 2011. He was addressing a massive dharna launched by JKNPP activists at Exhibition Ground Jammu today which was attended by Balwant Singh Mankotia State President and Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers. Emphasizing the urgency to initiate the Delimitation process on war footing, Harsh Dev Singh said that geographical area, topography, no. of voters, nature of terrain, inaccessibility and poor communication facilities are the factors which weigh heavily in favour of Jammu region and entitle it to a higher number of Assembly constituencies. Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Paul Kundal regretted that while Delimitation process had been completed all over the country by Justice Kuldeep Singh commission, it was J&K state alone which had been singled out under the pretext of Art 370. They said that the State Legislature was competent to take decision and the needful was required to be done at the earliest. They warned of a full scale agitation in case the coalition govt. didn't initiate the process for Delimitation at the earliest.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
