Stringent security arrangements had been made to ensure a peaceful atmosphere for the voters and 850 policemen, led by six deputy police officers (DSPs), were deployed outside the polling stations.

The committee’s decision had instantly been challenged before the ECP by Akbar S. Babar, the petitioner in the foreign funding case, but the commission is yet to take a decision on the application.
