Election Officials to Hike through Tough Terrain for one voter in Arunachal Pradesh

GUWAHATI: Election commission officials will hike through tough terrain in Arunachal Pradesh’s Anjaw district which borders China, in order to ensure that the lone voter of a polling station can exercise her franchise.

Sokela Tayang, 39, resides with her children in Malogam- which is around 39 kilometres from Anjaw district headquarter Hayuliang.

According to reports, very few families reside in Malogam and all the other voters apart from Sokela have been registered in different polling stations.

Reportedly, the election authorities will reach the Malogam polling station by foot for Soleka’s vote.

The Lok Sabha elections and state assembly elections are being held in Arunachal Pradesh simultaneously.
