The reason behind this is not yet known.
There are 308 polling stations where voting will take place till 5 pm.
There have been similar previous incidents in the past when women were prevented to vote. Not a single woman could cast her vote in NA-103 Hafizabad during the by-elections in August.
Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, during his recent visit to DI Khan, convinced provincial law minister Israrullah Gandapur to withdraw his support for Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) candidate Maulana Asad Mehmood in the by-polls for NA-25.
Earlier the by-elections in the NA-25 constituency were postponed from August 22 due to security reasons. There were intelligence reports that terrorists could carry out attacks.

THIS is the state of Naya Suubah (luckily not naya pakistan)
No women allowed i guess Maulana might be sensing defeat
where is election Commission and CJP? Both should nullify the results and order fresh election. It is only 50% democracy and may be we should expect 50% justice from Supreme Court of Pakistan too. Incidentally are there any women judges in Supreme Court or is it sill male fiefdom?
"The reason behind this is not yet known."???? Everybody knows the reason. It is quite obvious!
