JAMMU, Mar 14: Thathri Development Front has urged upon the chairperson of Delimitation Commission, (Retd) Justice Ranjana Parkash Dessai for creation of separate Thathri Assembly Constituency in District Doda, without increasing the number of constituencies.
In a handout Front said, “Let the previous Doda Constituency remains as such but the newly proposed Doda West Constituency should be merged with Thathri.
Front Members said that Thathri Sub-Division comprises of five Tehsils and almost 90 per cent of its area is hilly, snow-bound and backward.
They demanded to attach the two adjacent Tehsils-Mahalla and Dharbshalla with five Tehsils of Sub-Division Thathri to make it a Constituency.
“The presently drafted proposal has attached half of the Sub-Division with Doda West and Doda Constituencies and the other half with Bhadarwah Constituency which is quite irrational, arbitrary and unjust,” Front members maintained appealing to the Commission, Lt. Governor of J&K UT and concerned MP, Dr. Jatinder Singh to respect the identity of Sub-Division Thathri and not attach it partly with Doda West and Doda and partly with Bhadarwah Constituency as the same is wrong geographically, topographically and culturally.
