Stage set for tomorrow’s polling in high profile Udhampur LS seat amid high security
Jammu and Kashmir has five Lok Sabha constituencies and each one will go to polls in separate phases because of security reasons.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered a probe after a large chunk of an embankment on river Jhelum in Srinagar caved in triggering panic among city residents, a government official said on Thursday.
Minister for Disaster Management, Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction, Javaid Mustafa Mir, has asked Kashmir’s Divisional Commissioner Baseer Ahmed Khan to probe the reasons behind the collapse of the part of the embankment at Lasjan on Wednesday, the official spokesman said.
Mir assured if anyone is found guilty or negligent in the inquiry report, the person would be brought to book.
