"JKVHA in a letter to the Chief Election Officer (CEO), has demanded that keeping in view the general health of the people, the polling booths need to be declared as 'smoke free zones'," the Association said in a statement. During the LokSabha elections, Jammu and Kashmir became the first state in the country to have smoking-free polling booths after a similar request was made by the JKVHA. "The representation was made to the CEO keeping in view the dangers of passive smoking on women voters," the statement said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
