The polling process has begun across Swat with security placed at all sensitive polling stations, reports Dawn News’ Murad Ali Khan.
The first vote has been cast at the polling station in Haji Baba School, he reports from Swat’s NA-3. “In all constituencies of Swat, the polling process has started. Security has been placed in great numbers at all sensitive polling stations,” he said.
“In Swat, the polling process has begun in a peaceful atmosphere. This is a national cause, it is a big day for us. Security is made foolproof after a month of homework,” Swat District Police Officer Shafiullah Gandapur told Dawn News.
“We have deployed more than 6,500 police personnel, along with the support from FC North and the Pakistan army,” he added.
