3 hours into Kashmir repoll, 1% votes cast in Srinagar, none in Budgam

The voter turnout in the first three hours of repolling in 38 polling stations of Srinagar Lok Sabah constituency has been an abysmal one per cent.
Only 344 voters of the 34,169 eligible persons cast their votes across all polling stations till 10 AM, officials said here.
No votes were polled in Budgam and Khansahib assembly segments while only two votes were polled in Chrar-e-Sharief segment of the Lok Sabha constituency in the corresponding period, they said.
Chadoora, which was worst hit by violence during Sunday’s polling, recorded 200 votes while Beerwah assembly segment saw 142 people turn up to vote, the officials said.
Re-poll was ordered in 38 polling stations of Chadoora, Chrar-e-Sharief, Khansahib and Beerwah tehsils of Budgam district where violence had disrupted the process on Sunday. Eight civilians were killed in clashes with the security forces.
Alarmed by the unprecedented violence, the Election Commission decided to defer the south Kashmir Anantnag Parliamentary seat by-poll to May 25. Voting in the constituency was otherwise scheduled for April 12.
