India s top election officials are holding public hearings in Assam to discuss proposed changes to the electoral map of the state. The draft delimitation proposal aims to alter the geographical boundaries of assembly and parliamentary constituencies, eliminating some seats and creating new ones. The process has faced criticism from opposition parties and social organisations, who claim that the proposed changes heavily favour the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The Election Commission of India has invited suggestions and objections on the draft until 11 July. | Latest News India
