Hold state polls close to Nov: J&K govt to EC

The J&K government has requested the Election Commission to hold assembly polls in the state closer to November, reviewing its earlier recommendation to the poll body to time the exercise between June 8 and 24. The need to deploy paramilitary forces for the Amarnath yatra before it starts on July 1 is cited as the reason to push the state polls to November.
