NEW DELHI, April 19, 2024 (TBINN)
A voter turn-out of over 60 per cent was recorded in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections covering 102 seats across 21 states and Union territories amid sporadic incidents of violence at some places and an accidental explosion of a grenade launcher shell in Chhattisgarh that left a C.R.P.F. Jawan dead.
Election Commission said polling for the first and biggest phase of seven-phase elections remained largely peaceful.
Voters braved the heat in most parts while at some places, they waited patiently in pouring rain as the world’s largest poll exercise got under way of its first phase.
