Members of the district SVEEP committee held a voter awareness programme in Chapoli village, in Belagavi district, on Thursday, where the residents boycotted the polls in 2019, due to lack of development.
Agencies like the District and Taluk SVEEP Committee and Gram Panchayat of Jamboti jointly organised the event in Chapoli in Khanapur taluk. The residents had boycotted the Parliament polls five years ago, saying there was no approach road to the village.
ZP Planning officer M. Krishnaraju urged the people to come out and vote this time as the roads to the village were built. He asked them to ensure universal voting on the polling day in May.
