The Delimitation Commission in Jammu Kashmir is likely to submit full and final report in the month end after it received more than 400 recommendations to its draft proposal.

Delimitation Commission submitted its draft proposal on March 14 and called for various suggestions and objections to its draft report.

The Commission said it received nearly 400 objections and suggestions from March 14-21 after putting draft report in public domain followed by its two-day visit to both Jammu Kashmir divisions on April 4 and 5.

Headed by Justice (Retired) Ranjana Prakash Desai and comprises Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sushil Chandra and State Election Commissioner (SEC) KK Sharma, the commission is settling all the suggestions and objections and is on final stage of report.

The objections/suggestions were given by major political parties, social organizations and individuals pertaining to both Parliamentary and Assembly constituencies.

The Delimitation could submit its final recommendations to the Union Law Ministry very soon, reportedly, as the Commission has deadline for submission of report till May 6.

Assembly elections in J&K will be held after the Commission submits its final report followed by nearly four-month long exercise of summary revision of electoral rolls to be undertaken by the Election Commission.
