A multi-layered security set up has been put in place for protection of polling booths, handling of law and order problems and thwarting the designs of anti-national elements to disrupt the polls, officials said.

All of the 433 polling stations have been designated either as ‘hyper-sensitive’ or ‘sensitive’ and a massive security layer has been thrown around these polling stations, many of which have been clubbed, they said.

The Kulgam district has 3,45,489 electors, including 1,79,607 males, 1,64,604 females, 1,265 service electors and 13 transgender voters.

The officials said 433 polling parties, comprising 1,732 polling personnel and 62 micro-observers, along with the poll material and EVMs/VVPAT machines were dispatched Sunday for different polling stations of Kulgam.

Kulgam has four Assembly segments of Noorabad, Kulgam, Homshalibug and Devsar.

Out of these, Kulgam Assembly segment has the highest number of 98,298 voters (51,051 males, 46,818 females, 455 service voters and four transgender voters) while Noorabad has the lowest 77,171 electors, including 40,093 males, 36,886 females, 188 service voters and four transgender voters.

The officials said electioneering in the district ended on Saturday and remained by and large peaceful.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission has curtailed the polling duration for the Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency by two hours following a request from the state police. The revised polling timing is 7 am to 4 pm.

There are 18 candidates in the fray for Anantnag constituency, including PDP president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti.
