‘Delimitation Commission accepts some suggestions of J&K MPs’

The Delimitation Commission for Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday decided to accept some of the suggestions by its associate members — the five J&K MPs — on the boundaries of the Assembly constituencies, according to sources.

The Commission, set up in March 2020, received a two-month extension this week as its tenure was set to end on March 6.

At a meeting on Thursday, the three-member Commission, headed by retired Justice Ranjana Desai, and with Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra as member, discussed the suggestions of Union Minister and Udhampur MP Jitendra Singh, Jammu MP Jugal Kishore and the joint submission by three National Conference MPs from Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah, Hasnain Masoodi and Mohammad Akbar Lone, an official said.
