In the first incident, a Central Industrial Security Force trooper was injured as terrorists hurled a grenade at a polling booth in Tral constituency of Pulwama district, where polling is to be held on Tuesday.
The terrorists lobbed the grenade at higher secondary school, which has been designated as a polling station, at Noorpora in Tral area of south Kashmir, 35 km from Srinagar, a police officer said.
A CISF jawan on polling duty sustained minor injuries in the attack, he said.
No militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Tral is one of the 16 constituencies -- spread over three Kashmir Valley districts -- going to the polls in the third phase of elections on December 9.
Meanwhile in Srinagar, despite a thick security blanket being in place for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit on Monday, a petrol bomb was hurled at the residence of a ruling National Conference leader at Safakadal locality on Sunday evening. Nobody was injured in the attack.
Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a series of militant attacks since the start of the polling process.
On December 5, Kashmir Valley was rocked by four terror attacks leaving 11 security personnel including a Lt Colonel dead along with two civilians.
