Jammu and Kashmir block development council polls begin

Polling in the Jammu and Kashmir block development council (BDC) began on Thursday morning amid tight security, with the Congress, National Conference and the PDP boycotting the first electoral exercise after abrogation of the state's special status.

 

"The polling has started at all the



polling stations from 9.00 am this morning. There has been no reports of delay from anywhere," state Chief Electoral Officer Shailender Kumar told PTI.

 

Polling will be held from 9 am to1 pm and the results would be announced later in the day.
