| Ladakhi students protest over failure of election authorities to facilitate polling through special booth | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 7 : Number of Ladakhi students today gathered here in Jammu and staged protest demonstration against election authorities over their failure to set up special polling booths in Jammu to facilitate polling for large number of students studying in Jammu.
Holding their Election Photo Identity card, the Ladakhi students shouted slogans before organising mock polling in the premises of Ladakh house on railway road.
Since the beginning of first phase of polling the Ladakhi students studying in Jammu had started campaigning in support of their demand of setting up polling booths in Jammu as they were not in a position to visit their native places to exercise their franchise. More than 5000 students belonging to Leh, Kargil and Drass are camping in Jammu and studying in different colleges. The students association had also submitted their memorandum to the Election commission of India and Chief Electoral Officer, Jammu to consider their genuine demand.
Official sources had earlier declined the proposal of setting up special polling booths in Jammu to facilitate polling. |
