"Noorabad assembly segment being represented by Agriculture Minister Abdul Aziz Zargar has been allowed to depute polling staff from district Baramulla from the Agriculture Department to influence the voters," Tarigami, the party state secretary, said in a complaint to the state chief electoral officer.

This is deliberate attempt to hoodwink electorate, he said and demanded immediate action including shifting of the poll staff from the assembly segment.
