Repolling at 11 Manipur Polling Stations Due to Gunfire and EVM Destruction

The decision has been made to declare the polls held at certain polling stations on April 19 null and void and to schedule fresh polling. These affected polling stations are Moirangkampu Sajeb and Thongam Leikai in the Khurai constituency, four in Kshetrigao, and one in Thongju in Imphal East district, as well as three in Uripok and one in Konthoujam in Imphal West district, as stated by an official. The Congress party had earlier demanded a repoll in 47 polling stations, alleging that booths were captured and elections were rigged.

Manipur Congress president K Meghachandra stated that the party had lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer, demanding a repoll in 36 polling stations in the Inner Manipur constituency and 11 in the Outer Manipur constituency. *(Note: Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed. )*
