Srinagar, Mar 20 (IBNS): Former union Minister and National Conference patron Dr Farooq Abdullah filed his nomination paper on Monday for by-polls for Srinagar constituency scheduled on April 9.

Dr Farooq Abdullah drove straight to office of Deputy Commissioner Srinagar and filed the nomination papers in presence of returning officer Farooq

Ahmad Lone.

He was accompanied by NC Working President Omar Abdullah, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president G A Mir and Congress
leader and former MP Tariq Hameed Karra.

The by-election to Srinagar constituency has been necessitated by the resignation of Tariq Hamid Karra from the Lok Sabha in September last year.

Congress and NC are fighting the LS by-polls jointly. Srinagar-Budgam parliamentary seat is going to polls on April 9.

Meanwhile, Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Srinagar constituency, Nazir Ahmad Khan  also filed his papers on Monday.

Reports say that he was accompanied by PDP Lok Sabha MP from Baramulla and senior party leader Muzaffar Hussain Beigh and former state minister Imran Ansari.
