CHATRA: While immobile and elderly voters being carried by their kin on shoulders or cots and wheelchairs to polling booths is a common sight during elections, it was a middle-aged woman who caught everyone’s attention on Saturday when she brought her husband on her back for poll duty at a polling centre in Chatra district.
Manoj Oraon, who is working as a helper with the Central Coalfields Limited’s (CCL) Ashoka Project in Piparwar, was assigned poll duty at the Chatra college booth during the first phase of the panchayat election which began on Saturday. He could barely walk due to injuries in his legs after an accident a few days ago.
