Of queues and chaos

The polling centre proper wears a deserted look, owing to low voter turnout yesterday.

This long line of voters is actually full of those who are there only to make up the numbers and not actually vote. Whenever they see journalists, they make sure the line looks bigger.

A scuffle breaks out among supporters of two mayoral candidates at a polling centre of Ward-30.

A policeman, who was allegedly voting for others, being taken inside the centre for Ward 29 to be questioned.

A motorised rickshaw-van used to bring voters to a polling centre in Ashkona.

An elderly man all smiles after successfully voting.

Happy polls day participants decked out in the national colours.
