Srinagar and Anathnag are set for by elections on April 9 and 12 respectively.

Anantnag Lok Sabha seat fell vacant in June last after Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti won the Assembly bypolls, as required by law to continue as the Chief Minister.

The Srinagar Lok Sabha seat was vacated by former PDP leader Tariq Hamid Karra who had resigned last year in September.

Karra had resigned in protest against alleged brutalities on Kashmir protesters during last year's unrest.
