#VoteForIndia: Polling begins for third phase of J&K elections
  • 5 years ago
Voting began on a brisk note on Tuesday in 16 constituencies of Jammu and Kashmir going to polls in third of the five-phased state elections.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and three of his cabinet colleagues are among 144 candidates whose fate will be decided on Tuesday in the third phase of polling in 16 seats spread across Budgam, Pulwama and Baramulla districts.

Braving cold weather, voters today lined up at polling stations much before the start of the voting time at 8 am.

Security arrangements in all the three districts have been strengthened in the wake of Friday’s violence, where 21 persons including 11 security personnel and eight militants were killed in four incidents in the Valley.
