Srinagar: National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah Saturday
criticised the Centre handling of Kashmir, seeking reasons for the all-
time low voter turnout in the ongoing urban local body polls.
"From the highest turnouts since 1987 in 2014 to the lowest turnouts
ever recorded in 2018 why is the Modi government able to get away
with its disastrous handing of Kashmir almost unquestioned?" Omar
asked on his Twitter handle.
Most of the assembly segments in Srinagar witnessed a voter turnout in
excess of 25 per cent with the Sonawar assembly seat recording nearly
45 per cent poll percentage.
However, the voter turnout in Srinagar in the first three phases of the
ongoing civic polls has failed to touch the double-digit figure.
The first phase recorded the highest (6.2 per cent) turnout so far, while
the second and third phases have recorded 2.3 and 1.8 per cent,
respectively.
