Srinagar has been put under a tight security cover as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to arrive today in the city to address a rally in the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium.

The rally venue has been virtually taken over by security forces. CCTV cameras have been installed inside the stadium and Special Protection Group (SPG) personnel will monitor activities of the crowd with binoculars.

Besides this, the top police officers have also been given the job to monitor the proceedings of the rally.

The arrangements have especially been made amidst assertions by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that the purpose of the recent militant attacks in the state was to create terror among the masses.

The third phase of Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls will take place tomorrow.

Seventy-two percent voter turnout was registered in the second phase of the assembly elections in the valley on Tuesday.

The result of the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be announced on December 23.
