There are 280 DDC seats for which voting was held over eight phases in the Jammu and Kashmir, the first mass election after scrapping of Article 370 last year.
In a letter to State EC KK Sharma, Abdullah claimed that real voters of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration candidates were disallowed to vote at a number of places.
Polling is taking place for 34 seats. A total of 138 candidates from Kashmir division and 111 candidates from Jammu are contesting in the fourth of the eight-phase DDC polls.
Candidates in all-women Wagoora constituency include PDP women’s wing chief, homemaker representing Gupkar alliance, ex-minister’s wife and a Kashmiri Pandit.
The incident took place as polling was on for the third phase of the DDC elections in the Union Territory Friday. The voter turnout was 25.58% till 11 am.
According to the state election commissioner, the second phase has about 7.90 lakh eligible voters across 2,142 polling booths — 1,305 in Kashmir and 837 in Jammu.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
