Dty. Election Commissioner pushes delimitation exercise in J&K

Chandra Bushan Kumar holds virtual meetings with 20 Deputy Commissioners of the Union Territory

In a bid to speed up the process of delineation of the Assembly and Parliamentary constituencies in J&K, Deputy Election Commissioner Chandra Bushan Kumar held virtual meetings with 20 Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of the Union Territory on Wednesday. Mr. Kumar held two separate virtual meetings, first with the DCs, who are also District Electoral Officers (DEOs), from the Jammu region, followed by meetings with the officers from the Kashmir region. It was the first such meeting with the DEOs since the J&K Delimitation Commission headed by Justice (Retd.) Ranjana Prakash Desai, with five associate members comprising local Members of Parliaments, was set up in March 2020.
