“Voting is essential to public. With voting unemployment in Kashmir will cease to exist. Voting should be held peacefully without any disturbance…People are coming to cast their votes,” one of the voters who had come to a polling station to cast his vote said speaking to ANI.

Senior Superintendent of Police Baramulla Amod Ashok Nagpure said that the police has ensured adequate security arrangements in the area to ensure a smooth voting process.

“Voting is going on well. People have come out in large numbers. We have ensured adequate security arrangements so that people can vote without any fear…,” Nagpure said speaking to ANI.

Meanwhile, JKPC chairman Sajad Lone cast his vote at a polling booth in Handwara.

“I am very confident…,” Lone said adding that “It is up to the people whom they vote for. It is for them to decide and not my matter.”
