MP voters boycott poll in two booths

Shivpuri, MP, Mar 8 (UNI) Voters of two polling centres in Karaira assembly segment in Shivpuri district today boycotted polling for the by-election in Gwalior Lok Sabha constituency.

The boycott was to protest the ''government apathy'' towards their land-related problems due to the proximity to Karaira sanctuary.

''Not a single vote was cast in Ramgarha's and Behganwa polling centre, while only one voter turned up at Nainagir booth,'' District Collector Manohar Agwani said.

Earlier, residents of two dozen villages had announced to boycott polling, as they were facing land-related problems due to proximity to Karaira sanctuary.
