In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the residents of Pargwal area of Jammu region held a strong protest demonstration against draft report of the Delimitation Commission. Hundreds of people gathered in Pargwal and lodged strong protest over re-naming of Chhamb Assembly segment to Khour. The protesters were led by senior Congress leader, Tara Chand.
Moreover, the locals strongly objected to merg-ing of Pargwal tehsil with the Akhnoor assembly segment which was earlier the part of Chhamb as-sembly segment, whereas, Chowki-Chora tehsil and Maira Mandrian tehsil have been merged with the proposed Khour assembly segment.
While speaking on the occasion, Tara Chand said the distance from Khour to Chowki-Chora is around 100 kilometers and it seems that the Delimi-tation Commission ignoring the topographical and geographical aspects has merged these tehsils with Chhamb Assembly segment to benefit the leaders of the BJP.
