Modified delimitation needed in Delhi before any next elections

Delimitation in Delhi should be streamlined by having two exclusive constituencies for trans-Yamuna areas with simplified names as East-Delhi and Yamuna-Vihaar with river Yamuna as boundary to separate rest of the five seats on other side of the river which could have easy names as New-Delhi, Old-Delhi, South-Delhi, North-Delhi and West-Delhi eliminating confused nomenclature like North-East Delhi or North-West Delhi. All the seven Lok Sabha constituencies may comprise of ten assembly-seats even though twenty trans-Yamuna assembly-seats may have slightly less representation of voters. Major roads or rail-lines should be dividing boundaries between different constituencies. Such slight modifications can be done through an ordinance before forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

There is a peculiar situation in UP-bordering areas like Abu Fazal Enclave -Delhi where alternate streets in the colony are in UP and Delhi with even Kalindi Kunj park on Delhi-side of river Yamuna falling in UP. Such a peculiar situation should be avoided by intervention of central government to redefine Delhi-UP border very marginally.
