Re-polling Begins In Manipur Amid Reported Violence

Re-polling commenced on Monday at 11 polling venues within the inner-Manipur Parliamentary constituency.

The Election Commission ordered re-polling amid incidents of violence reported from polling stations on 19 April.

The designated polling sites undergoing re-polling include Moirangkampu Sajeb Upper Primary School and S Ibobi Primary School (East Wing) within the Khurai assembly constituency, 4 in Kshetrigao, 1 in Thongju, 3 in Uripok, and 1 in Konthoujam.

Following the gunfire, a civilian was reportedly wounded.

As per reports, Manipur saw a voter turnout of 69.18 per cent till 7 PM.

Meanwhile, all 32 assembly segments within the Inner Manipur parliamentary constituency participated in the Lok Sabha elections.
