Full ECI team to visit Srinagar this weekend 10/15/2014 12:14:28 AM Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Oct 14: The entire team of Election Commission of India is visiting Srinagar this weekend most likely on Saturday to assess the situation amidst an overwhelming demand for holding Assembly elections flood ravaged in Jammu and Kashmir on schedule. The team, according to the sources would comprise of Chief Election Commissioner VS Sampath and Election Commissioners HS Brahma and Nasim Zaidi. The visit - comes close on the heels of a trip made by Deputy Election Commissioner Vinod Zutshi last week for an assessment whether elections can be held now or not in view of the massive devastation caused by the recent floods. The ruling National Conference is opposed to holding of the polls on schedule. However, its ally Congress, main opposition PDP and BJP are favouring the polls before the term of the outgoing Assembly ends. The term of the present Assembly is all set to end on January 5, 2015 and if elections are not held prior to that it would pave the way for the imposition of Governor's rule in the state.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
