Scores of public representatives from 10 districts in Kashmir on Tuesday asked the J&K Delimitation Commission to address “brazen discrepancies” in the proposed draft, as the panel concluded its two-day tour of the Union Territory (UT) which is likely to pave way for the first ever Assembly elections since J&K’s special constitutional status was ended in 2019.
No major political figure from the regional parties met the panel during its stay in Srinagar, unlike Jammu where top BJP leaders, including party president Ravinder Raina met the members of the Commission. In Srinagar, mostly village heads and civil society representatives apprised the panel about discrepancies in the draft made public in March.
