As the process of delimitation of the Parliamentary and Assembly constituencies will now be based on the population census of 2001 instead of 1991, the number of Assembly constituencies to be reserved for scheduled caste will increase from 17 to 18 in Haryana.
However, there will not be any change in the number of reserved Parliamentary constituencies which will remain at two out of 10 constituencies.
According to highly placed sources in the state delimitation committee, the number of Assembly constituencies in Faridabad district will increase from six to nine, in Gurgaon from 6 to 7, in Panipat district from three to four and in Panchkula the increase will be from one to two.
The district in which the number of Assembly constituencies will decrease include from seven to six in Bhiwani, from six to five in Sonepat, from six to five in Karnal, from five to four in Ambala, from four to three in Fatehabad, from five to four in Yamunanagar, from six to five in Jind, from five to four in Kaithal, five to four in Rohtak and five to four in Jhajjar district.
