New Delhi, February 25

The Delimitation Commission, mandated to redraw Assembly constituencies in J&K, on Friday circulated a revised draft report to its associate members incorporating some changes suggested by them.

Five Lok Sabha members —Farooq Abdullah, Mohammad Akbar Lone and Hasnain Masoodi of the National Conference and Jugal Kishore Sharma and Jitendra Singh of the BJP — are the panel’s associate members.

The MPs had urged the panel to “redraw” some seats. Their suggestions regarding Habba Kadal seat in Srinagar and Suchetgarh seat in Jammu have been accepted.

The commission has also agreed not to rename Inderwal assembly seat, sources said. — PTI

No renaming seat

The commission has agreed not to rename Inderwal Assembly seat, say sources.
Suggestions on Habba Kadal and Suchetgarh seats have been reportedly accepted.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
