117 new divisions added to panchayats in Kozhikode
With the delimitation of local bodies completed, panchayats in Kozhikode district are to have 117 new divisions. With this, the total number of wards in the 70 grama panchayats in the district has increased to 1,343 from 1,226. Meanwhile, the District Congress Committee (DCC) has alleged that the delimitation was 'unscientific' and said it would take up the issue legally. Perumanna grama panchayat has the maximum number of new divisions added (four), while Puthuppady, Kakkodi, Chelannur, Thamarassery, Omassery, Kodiyathur, and Kuruvattur have had three new divisions added each. The names of some divisions have also been changed in certain cases. Thus, each of the 70 panchayats in the district has at least one new division added based on population. The boundaries of several divisions have been altered to accommodate the new ones. The Delimitation Commission claimed that all complaints registered based on the draft notification of the delimitation were resolved before finalising the changes. However, the DCC alleged that none of its complaints were taken into consideration. 'The officials who carried out the delimitation process behaved as if they were workers of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the divisions were made for the convenience of the party,' said DCC president K. Praveen Kumar. 'He added that the party had filed several complaints with justifiable reasons for not changing the boundaries of certain divisions, but these were not acknowledged by the commission. He said there were seven complaints against the finalised list of divisions pending in the Kerala High Court and that the Congress would intensify its protest against the 'unscientific delimitation'. The geography of the divisions has a big role in determining the results of elections in panchayats. With the local body polls expected in less than six months, there is limited time available to reconsider the divisions.
