New Delhi, July 9: There is an overlapping of districts as well as the tehsils in Constituencies of Jammu and Kashmir. All such facts indicate that the public faces inconvenience due to such anomalies, said Chief Election Commissioner of India, Sushil Chandra. The first full-fledged delimitation commission was formed in 1981 which could submit its recommendation after 14 years in 1995. It was based on the 1981 census. Thereafter, no delimitation has taken place, said Chandra. In 1995, there were 12 districts. The number has gone up to 20 now. The number of tehsils has gone up from 58 to 270. In 12 districts, constituency boundaries are extended beyond the district's limit, he added. Taking all the demands and recommendations into account, a draft will be prepared and put in the public domain for their comments. After seeing all the comments, the final draft (on Delimitation exercise) will be prepared, Chandra stated. Reacting on the comments of some political parties the CEC said, "If something was decided earlier then Commission would not have come here. Nothing has been pre-planned so far. Before starting the exercise, we want to have the views of all persons. These apprehensions in the mind of any person, if at all, should go away".
