By-polls underway in Anantnag featuring J & K CM Mehbooba Mufti

Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir, June 22 (IBNS) Amid heavy security, voting is underway in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag assembly constituency on Wednesday with Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti contesting for an Assembly berth to fulfil constitutional obligations.

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.
