DELIMITATION OF CONSTITUENCY IN HIMACHAL PRADESH


LOK SABHA

On the request of Election Commission of India, the delimitation work in respect of the State of Himachal Pradesh would be taken up by the Delimitation Commission and finalized after the completion of the general elections to the Legislative Assembly of that State in February, 2003. Therefore, the question of reservation/de-reservation of constituencies in the State of Himachal Pradesh before the general elections does not arise.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Coal, Mines , Law and Justice, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad in a written reply to a question from S/Shri Maheshwar Singh and Suresh Chandel in the Lok Sabha today.
