Parking arrangements for vehicles associated with the vote counting process have also been designated, including several key locations such as the FCI Godown, DIC Complex Baramulla, and ITI Baramulla (Kralhar). Transportation will be available for ferrying counting staff and political agents to and from the stadium.
The Deputy Commissioner’s office emphasized the need for security measures. “We are coordinating closely with the police and transport departments to ensure that both security and traffic flow are effectively managed,” a senior official stated.
The Sr. Superintendent of Police, Baramulla, has been requested to oversee all necessary security arrangements for the vote counting, which will witness a significant influx of political representatives, media personnel, and counting staff.–(KINS)
