“All those scenes of election campaigning I have seen outside the state are visible in kupwara district with scores of youth taking part in political activities, vehicles being used with loudspeakers installed seeking votes for their candidate,” Nazir shared.
Security agencies too have played their role in creating a conducive atmosphere in the district, sources in the grid told INS.

He said that Army units are carrying extensive security related tasks to ‘instill the sense of security for elections’ adding that, ‘security forces along with CAPF will deal with any untoward happening’.
“Youth involvement into election campaigning is a good sign since security agencies have successfully managed to eliminate the propaganda of Pakistan provoking youth into other directions,” he said.
The officials in the security grid confided that with the prevailing security scenario its least expected that there would be any militants attacks across Kupwara distirct.
They however do not negate possiblity of minor stone pelting incidents at some sensitive polling boot.
