Srinagar, Aug 26: The All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) today said that it will contest three assembly seats in the Kashmir Valley .

The Committee also appealed the majority community to make its candidates successful.

“We have decided to contest three seats in the Kashmir Valley. We are banking on the support of the majority community for the success of our candidates,” APSCC Chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina told media.

He said APSCC has decided to field S. Pushvinder Singh from Tral in Pulwama district.

"Our candidates for Central Shalteng in Srinagar and Baramulla will be announced later,” the APSCC Chairman said.
