Delimitation panel alters boundaries of 22 constituencies
The Assembly constituencies that would see geographical changes are Burari, Rithala, Bawana, Mundka, Kirari, Najafgarh, Bijwasan, Narela, Deoli, Babarpur, Okhla, Uttam Nagar, and Vikaspuri as these are the constituencies with five or more wards
The commission is hopeful of completing the task on time, that is by November second week.
The delimitation process by the three-member commission to decrease the number of municipal wards in Delhi is on track — 75% of the work is completed, and the first draft is likely to be ready in the next 10 days, sources said.
The commission has altered the geography of 22 of 70 Vidhan Sabha constituencies with more than five wards while the remaining 48 were not touched. The Assembly constituencies that would see geographical changes are Burari, Rithala, Bawana, Mundka, Kirari, Najafgarh, Bijwasan, Narela, Deoli, Babarpur, Okhla, Uttam Nagar, and Vikaspuri as these are the constituencies with five or more wards.
“Vidhan Sabha constituencies with more number of wards were basically chosen so that parity is achieved in terms of the size. For instance, Matiala Vidhan Sabha had seven wards, so the number of wards here has been decreased. Three other Assembly segments had six wards and 12 Assembly constituencies had five wards which have also undergone alterations,” a source said.
