J&K delimitation commission award likely to be notified on May 5

After over two years since it was appointed, the Delimitation Commission for Jammu and Kashmir is likely to make its award public on Thursday, according to officials aware of the development.

The number of constituencies and their boundaries is likely to be made public through a gazette notification on Thursday morning, an official said.
