No progress in delimiting 90 assembly seats of J&K, even after 21 months: Panthers Party

Jammu, Dec 9 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party chairman and former minister, Harsh Dev Singh on Thursday said that while the process of delimitation of 4,121 assembly constituencies of 28 states of the country and 539 parliamentary constituencies was completed by Justice Kuldeep Singh led Delimitation commission within a period of 4 years, it is ironical that on delimiting of barely 90 assembly constituencies of J&K has seen no progress despite a lapse of 21 months from the date of its constitution.
Speaking to the media here at a press conference, Singh said that the Delimitation Commission was constituted by the President of India under the chairmanship of Justice Kuldeep Singh for delimiting the parliamentary as well as assembly constituencies across the country on July 12, 2002.
“The commission completed its job in 2006 by delimiting and readjusting the territorial boundaries of all parliamentary and assembly constituencies including rotation of reserved seats for SC and ST in the country within a period of 4 years except for J&K," he said adding that the job was certainly herculean but the commission accomplished it fearlessly and impartially in the shortest possible duration thus upholding the democratic traditions and constitutional values.
