Addressing the press conference in Jammu, the CEC, as per KNO said that they don’t want to see a “Chicken and Egg” situation in J&K in the wake of some terror attacks in Jammu region. “Our forces are capable to deal with the situation. We will not allow these small attempts to derail the election process in J&K,” he said. “As far the exact dates, we will conduct a final security requirement assessment back in Delhi and announce the poll dates accordingly.” He, kept the suspense about the exact dates of polls in J&K on.

He said that the political parties of J&K are on a same page as all of them want early polls. “The feedback we got from the security heads, officers from the administration and the district police chiefs is that though there are a few security challenges but they are ready for the peaceful elections in J&K,” the CEC said.

The CEC, who was flanked by two Election Commissioners, said that he had come here earlier in connection with the Lok Sabha polls. “In May 2022, after the delimitation of J&K was done, J&K RE-organisation act was passed in the parliament in December. Soon after that, we started the process of holding elections in J&K,” he said. “Lok Sabha polls are over and Amarnath Yatra is still on. The people of J&K scripted a history by participating in the polls is record numbers. World and people of India hailed the participation of women and youth in large numbers.”

He said the political parties he met in Srinagar and Jammu hailed ECI for the peaceful Lok Sabha polls and they also put forth some demands like polling booth should be within the radius of two kms and there should be CCTV coverage of poling. “We have told them that both these demands have been met and instructions in this regard have been passed as well,” he said.

Replying to a query that there was a SC deadline of September for holding polls in J&K, the CEC said that no internal or external force can delay polls in J&K. “People of J&K will give a befitting response to disruptive forces,” he said.

He said that political parties demanded a level playing field and streamlining of the security cover of politicians. “We have taken note and it will be ensured that there is a level playing field and a security review of politicians so that they carry out their activities normally,” the CEC said as per KNO. He said that another demand was that polling stations shouldn’t be clubbed at the last minute and “we will ensure no polling both is clubbed except for a few for geographical reasons.”
