| Delimitation Commission & urge of people towards it | | |
RAKESH AATHUR
Delimitation is the process in which an area is to be represented in comparison to population with seats in the state or union of India. There is distribution of seats in the Jammu & Kashmir since when there accession of state was agreed among the ruler and union of India as per census of the region then and the no. of seats were given more to the Kashmir region as compared Jammu region then.
But aftermath of few years the no. of incidents happened like outmigration from Kashmir region due to terroristic incidents and the displacement of the refugees from the Chhamb and Akhnoor sector of J&K causing stampede like burdensome to the Jammu region in wake of constituent assembly seats, due to which the displaced refugees are living at the Jammu, Samba, Punjab border belt has to face the hardships in lieu of citizenship right till abrogation of article 370. If we ask the people of the displaced region they blamed that former government had bloomed their innocence for years while ruling in the union and state.
When, Pakistan territory had occupied the more than 12 districts of the Chhamb area of the Akhnoor sub- division of Jammu province. The displaced people are wandering since 1947s to present day, government which cannot sooth them though with the policy of “Domicile” which is still not a permanent solution yet and refugee compensation in the state is too incomplete in itself. Therefore they had greater resentment with the government that their citizenship right has been braided to a larger extent of time during which they were not given with right of citizens of the state too. Due to which the posterities’ of the refugees remain destitute from state jobs/ services, adult franchise in the state election.
As far as if we concern passionately the representation in the constituent assembly of the state arouse with a need forth with special reservation. In addition the Hilly and uphill/ plateau terrain areas of the J & k is also facing discrimination in the matter of literacy, lack of proper civic amenities like electricity, water supply , road connectivity, etc required with the special and reserved constituencies also to which present leadership of different parties including union parties have neglected in a larger extent . About which the people of such belts or region have greater resentment too.
Similarly, there aroused a hope of delimiting with a particular constuency within the area of border belt including Nandpur, Jerda, Dugh, Kamore, Hari- Mandirmini belt ,Sujwan, Bain-glar, Rajpura, Loundi (Hiranagar), marheen,etc. Farmers of the areas during the farmers struggle against three farm laws had also consistently opted for this special constituency from the Delimitation commission.
Probably the no. of people living at presently in the Jammu region may not less than the people in the Kashmir region which assigned with the 37 seats in the state assembly, is great discrimination in itself with the people living in the Jammu region. Though the both region may variable as per area or physiographic pattern, but as per population status nothing anything so significant can be said about Kashmir region as compared to Jammu region.
So there leadership since very beginning of the state was predominant of Kashmir region, to which several of Jammu region leaders had followed for their motive only and not for the public issues or welfare purposes. So many of them had ignored the public issues and remain under the influence of kashmiri “Aakas” due to which the delimitation concept remains haunted to the Jammu region including Hilly area people who are ignored largely by their local leaders at every door- step during past elections.
The belt which suffered most furlongs towards Surara, Goran, Sumb, Nud, Pappad, Mansar, Khra- Madana, Surinsar, Utterbehni, Mandal, Purmandal, Birpur, Khiddian, Jallo-chak, Chouadi, Chhani, etc.
The said region had sustained so much discrimination at the selfish hands of the local leaders who had availed the no. of votes from these people, but the development matter remain in the cool box all the time. Therefore the basic amenities in the area like water supply, electricity, road connectivity, etc remain so poor and nothing any special category or privilege was given by the state or central government still.
In addition the already delimitation of the state was done on the berg of 2011 census which is considered as an irrelevant &outmoded census, due to which the representation of the seats in the state was not so accurate as compared to the population of the ST, SC and other linguistic minorities in the state. Basically the said census was for the assessment of economic status of the people in the state which was later considered to use for delimitation of the area till 2025 A.D. It is a major discrimination with the Jammu region on the one hand and the less representation of SC and ST seats in the state is another factor in the state on the other hand.
So delimitation commission should work out with new or local census of the population in both region and as per density of the population and then eloquences of seats in the state, which can win the aspirations of the common people and discrimination can also be mitigated. Instead of it the delimitation commission should have special interactions with locals of the Jammu & Kashmir among every district and delimits the area as well as seats as per people aspirations to which some of the selfish leaders are ignoring for their personal motives in the union territory. |
