The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has suggested that the general elections to the AJK Legislative Assembly, scheduled for July, be postponed for two months to allow sufficient time to vaccinate the region's eligible population.
In a letter to the AJK chief election commissioner, the NCOC said elections involve large social/political gatherings and the forthcoming polls in AJK "may act as super spreader for Covid".
According to the NCOC, only 0.175 million people in AJK were vaccinated by May 28, 2021, and nearly 1m people in the region are likely to be inoculated by the end of September.
