The delimitation commission's proposal of giving Jammu six additional seats and just one to Kashmir is facing stiff opposition from the major political parties in the Valley. 
NC leader and former chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted that the proposal was unacceptable and not justified according to the 2011 Census data.
PDP chief and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti too tweeted against the proposal and said that it proves her apprehensions about the commission weren't misplaced. She also accused the commission of ignoring the population census. 
The J&K delimitaton has been tasked with redrawing assembly constituencies in the union territory based on the 2011 Census.
According to an NDTV report based on the 2011 Census, Kashmir has a population 68.8 lakh compared to than Jammu’s 53.5 lakh – that is 15 lakh more people.
In the former state of J&K, Jammu had 37 seats, Kashmir had 46 and Ladakh 4 seats.
Now, according to the delimitation commission’s proposal – Jammu would have 43 seats and Kashmir 47.
According to the NDTV report, once the new assembly constituencies are created, seats in Kashmir will have a population ratio of 1.46 lakh against 1.25 lakh in Jammu province.
Since delimitation is an exercise of redrawing boundaries of an assembly or Lok Sabha constituency based on population, parties from the Valley contend that Kashmir region should get more seats.

The home ministry has handed over the investigation into the drone attack on the Jammu air force station to the National Investigation Agency.
In what was the first instance of Pakistan-based terrorists deploying drones to strike vital installations, two bombs were dropped at the IAF station in Jammu in the early hours of Sunday, causing minor injuries to two airmen.
The officials said the explosive material dropped by the drones might have been manufactured using a cocktail consisting of RDX, but a final confirmation was still awaited.
Investigators were yet to determine the flight path of the drones that dropped the bombs as they scanned the CCTV footage. The drones are believed to have returned to the Pakistan side of the border after dropping the payload.
The aerial distance from the Jammu airport to the Pakistan border is 14 km.

Leafing across the recent pages of history reveals a clear design from the militants based across the international border to use drones as a new weapon to disrupt peace especially after the abrogation of Article 370

Air Force Station attack: why drones are the new terror weapon amid rise in militancy in Jammu 

Was a drone-induced militant attack on the Indian Air Force station in Jammu in the offing?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In first such terror attack using unmanned aerial vehicles, between 1.37 am and 1.42 am on Sunday, most reports say, two drone-laden explosives went off inside the high security area sending the defence establishment in to tizzy.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
With most reports saying that the stealth flying devices came from across the border, it is safe to presume that the drones travelled at least 14 kilometers without being spotted.&nbsp; Officials, however, said that possibility of the drone being controlled from India could not be ruled out.
&nbsp;
Officials of the anti-terror agency and the Jammu and Kashmir Police say that a clarity on where the drones had taken off and their flight path were yet to be reached.
&nbsp;
Almost 24 hours after the incident, two drones were spotted over the Ratnuchak-Kaluchak military area on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday after security forces who opened fire forcing the drones to fly away.
&nbsp;
But leafing across the recent pages of history, particularly in Jammu division, reveals a clear design from the militants based across the international border. Drone is a new weapon in the arson of militants seeking to disrupt peace especially after the abrogation of Article 370 and the terrain of the international border makes UAVs a potent one.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Take a note of the following timeline.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Eight days after the abrogation of Article 370, police found a crashed drone from a village in Punjab.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Over a month later, interrogation of militants revealed that drones had dropped arms in Punjab in 8 sorties between September 9 and 16.
&nbsp;
In the next year&rsquo;s summer in Jammu, the BSF shot down a drone carrying payload of 5kgs including a sophisticated US-made M4 semi-automatic carbine and seven Chinese grenades on June 22.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Two months late on September 19, the J&amp;K Police arrested three LeT militants who had come to pick up an arms consignment dropped by drones in Rajouri district.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Two AK assault rifles, three magazines with 90 rounds and a pistol with two magazines and 14 rounds which had been dropped by a Pakistani drone was seized in Akhnoor three days later.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A surveillance drone of Chinese make was shot down and seized by the Army on the Line of Control in Kupwara district on October 24, that year.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
There were three more arms recoveries in Jammu and Punjab&rsquo;s Gurdaspur and among them was the Border Security Force recovering 14 Improvised Explosive Devices with inbuilt magnets or what is called the sticky bomb used by the Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
SOT- REDDY IF YOU HAVE
&nbsp;
The matter of Pakistan using drones for surveillance and arms drop was even raised in Parliament earlier this year. Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy informed the Rajya Sabha that the govt was aware of such instances and has been taking various steps to meet such challenges.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
While it is clear that the use of drones has been on rise since the reading down of Article 370, it also coincides with what many is Jammu and Kashmir security circles say the rise of militancy in the Jammu division particularly the Muslim dominated regions.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to police data quoted by The Print its report, the J&amp;K Police arrested 25 people accused of working as overground workers to various militant organisations in 2020 in Jammu division. The figure for the same each year between 2015 and 2019 was not more than a dozen.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Moreover, a total of 13 encounters took place in Jammu last year, the Print reported. In 2015, this number was at 20, after which it was 13, 7, 16, and 9 in the following years until 2019, respectively.
&nbsp;
With the use of drones becoming prevalent and the number of people joining militant ranks growing, a clear challenge lays ahead for the security forces in the region that has largely remained peaceful since the last decade.

Air Force Base attack: Drones came from Pakistan, dropped bombs & returned

Intial investigations have revealed the role of Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group in the drone strike at Jammu Air Force base in early hours of Sunday.
The drone attack is linked with the recovery of a 6 kilogram IED by Jammu police from an LeT operative leading to detention of at least three terror suspects by J&amp;K Police, the Hindustan Times has reported.
The possible targets of attacks were the air traffic control tower with one drone and the other was aiming at either the parked IAF helicopter or the radar, the report said.
The two IEDs weighing around 5-6 kilograms with RDX as the main explosive charge were dropped at a distance of 50 yards from each other, the report said quoting security officials.
According to security agencies and state police, the two drones flew from across the border, which is mere 14.5 kilometers away from the Jammu airport, and returned back after the hit. The drone is suspected to be flying at a height of 1.2 kilometers and would have been powered by long range batteries.
