By-polls underway in Anantnag featuring J & K CM Mehbooba Mufti
According to reports, the by-election is going on a lacklustre note under the shadow of a boycott call by the separatist groups.
Mufti, who became Chief Minister without being a member of the state legislature, has to get elected to the Assembly within six months of being swron-in.
Apart from Mufti, a candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), seven other candidates, including those from the Congress and the National Conference, are contesting the election.
