JAMMU, Oct 19: Kuldeep Kumar Rao, president Thathri Development Front, district, Doda has appealed to the Lt. Governor of J&K UT, Manoj Sinha and the Central Government to create new districts before elections to District Development Councils (DDCs), for Justice for population wise equality in the UT.
In a statement issued here today he said in Kashmir Division there are districts with hardly two or three Tehsils while in Jammu Division there are districts like district Doda having 15 tehsils. So to have one District Development Council in one district is irrespective of number of Tehsils in it, is not only in genuine but also ridiculous. So it is appealed to the Centre Government and the Lt. Governor’s administration to make number of tehsils equal or almost equal in every district after reorganization of tehsils and the creation of new districts is of paramount importance.
Rao has further appealed to the Union Minister in PMO, Dr. Jitendra Singh and Delimitation Commission Member for J&K to create separate Assembly Constituency of the whole Sub-Division Thathri. As the Sub-Division Thathri is divided in Bhadarwah & Inderwal constituencies because of which the whole Sub-Division Thathri is lacking the basic facilities. Sub-Division Thathri is the most backward and undeveloped Sub-Division of Jammu & Kashmir UT, whose 90% population is situated in villages in the rural area.
