Anantnag-Rajouri voting postponed to May 25 due to 'adverse weather'

The Election Commission of India has postponed the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat election in Jammu and Kashmir to May 25 due to logistical challenges caused by adverse weather conditions. The election was originally scheduled for May 7. The decision was made following representations from political parties citing difficulties in campaigning and lack of fair opportunities for candidates due to logistical, communication, and natural barriers of connectivity. The rest of the election schedule remains unchanged.
