| Delimitation Commission neglects Akhnoor-Chhamb, alleges Dutta | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 22: Senior Vice President District Jammu Rural of Apni Party Devi Dutta today chaired a meeting of party workers at his office in Naiwala. Dozens of youth from various villages joined the party fold today who all were welcomed by Dutta in presence of other office bearers.
Dutta while addressing the party workers said that Delimitation Commission which has recently announced 6 additional seats for Jammu and 1 for Kashmir has completely neglected Akhnoor and Chhamb area of Jammu District. He said that Akhnoor and Chhamb are the two constituencies in the border area suffering cross border shelling for a long. He said geographically and as per population also this area in whole deserves one more additional assembly seat. He further said that many panchayats in Akhnoor and Chhamb are without inadequate communication and lack of public conveniences due to their excessive remoteness or inhospitable conditions on the border area. He said Akhnoor and Chhamb completed all required criteria for the additional assembly seat but still the panel has ignored this area criminally.
He further lambasted the local leadership of ruling BJP who failed to project the representation of the area. He demanded that additional assembly seats should be carved out from Akhnoor and Chhamb jointly.
Those who joined Apni Party today are: Sotu Singh, Pushpinder Singh, Gara Singh, Bunty Singh, Santosh Singh, Vicky Kumar, Rajan Singh, Kewal Kumar, Roshan Ram, Kuldeep Raj Deepak Raj, Dr Sunny Singh, Sonu Kumar, Ram Pal and Sikander Kumar. |
