According to a senior official speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), these specialised polling stations are being manned by women, youth and persons with disabilities (PwD) to facilitate a smooth electoral process for all voters. Across the Srinagar constituency, a total of 19 polling stations will be operated by women, 18 by youth, and 17 by persons with disabilities, he said, adding that these stations have been strategically distributed throughout Srinagar, Ganderbal, Pulwama, Budgam and Shopian districts to cater to the diverse demographic spread of the constituency.
