The polling started at 7 AM in all 5,060 polling stations across 40 Assembly Constituencies of seven districts namely Kupwara, Baramulla and Bandipora in Kashmir Division; and Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua and Samba in Jammu Division.
Amidst speculations and uncertainty, the voters are geared up for the third and a decisive bout of polling on Tuesday for the 90-member Jammu and Kashmir assembly that will have a truncated five years term for the first time after a gap of 49 years.
Ahead of the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, slated for May 7, there is confidence in the BJP camp in Uttar Pradesh to gain an edge over the opposition as in the previous two phases, as they claim.
