Voting began Tuesday morning for the second phase of District Development Council (DDC) elections in Jammu and Kashmir amid chilly conditions and tight security arrangements, officials said in Srianagr. "Polling began at 7.00 am. Initial reports suggest that only a few people have so far turned out at polling stations due to early morning winter chill," an official said. He said the pace of voting is expected to pick up as the day progresses and temperature rises.
