About fifty per cent voters cast their votes today during the by-election in Jamshedpur Lok Sabha constituency.
New Delhi, Aug 29 : About fifty per cent voters cast their votes today during the by-election in Jamshedpur Lok Sabha constituency.
The polling remained peaceful in spite of the boycott call given by the Naxals.
More than fifty-six companies of para-military forces were deployed in the sensitive polling centres because of ultras threats.
The polling in Jamshedpur constituency was necessitated because of death of JMM MP Sunil Mahto in a Naxal attack in March this year.
Twelve candidates are in the fray here, including JMM candidate Suman Mahto and BJP nominee Dinesh Kumar Sarangi. The counting will take place on September 2.
In Uttarakhand's Dhumakot Assembly by-election, where Chief Minister B C Khanduri is contesting as a BJP candidate, 55 per cent polling was registered.
