Harsh Dev submits memo to Chairperson Delimitation Commission Create separate Assembly constituency for Bhamag belt: JKNPP 1/5/2022 10:52:23 PM Early Times Report NEW DELHI, Jan 5: Seeking a separate Assembly constituency for Bhamag belt, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and former Minister submitted a memorandum to Chairperson of Delimitation Commission in New Delhi today. The deputation led by Harsh Dev Singh further demanded equal seats for Jammu & Kashmir regions and allocation of at least five Assembly constituencies for district Udhampur in view of its huge area, population, tough terrain, under development and lack of communication facilities. The memorandum reads "Pancheri, Lander, Mongri and Bhamag areas of district Udhampur are amongst the most backward areas of J&K UT with hardly any signs of development as required in present day context. The Bhamag belt falls in the remotest corner of district Udhampur with extremely tough terrain, poor connectivity, lack of communication links and other civic amenities needed for the human survival. The said belt though forms a compact and contiguous geographical area but is divided in three Assembly constituencies due to the power politics played by successive regimes including the present dispensation. A part of this belt is included in Udhampur constituency, some of it in Chenani constituency and the remaining part in Reasi constituency. With three different representatives/ MLAs to represent the said area, none takes interest resulting in its complete neglect and deprivation to the utter disappointment of the public inhabiting the incarcerated belt. The result is that it continues to suffer." Pertinent to mention that assurances were doled out umpteen times for creation of Assembly constituency for the said belt in view of its eligibility and backwardness besides fulfillment of all parameters as envisaged under the law, it has again been denied justice. It is further requested that district Udhampur having a geographical area of 2380 sq. kms and a population of 5,57,689 (2011 census) needs to be provided at least five Assembly constituencies so as to fulfill the hopes of various groups and remote areas.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
