In the third phase of Lok Sabha elections, an average of 64.58 percent voting took place on 93 seats in 11 states and union territories on Tuesday. The highest number of votes were cast in Assam at 81.71 percent and the least in Uttar Pradesh at 57.34 percent. Voting in West Bengal has been peaceful except for sporadic violence. Changes in the voting percentage are still expected as the final figures have not been released by the Election Commission.


 

With voting on 280 seats in the third phase, elections for more than half of the Lok Sabha seats were completed. Meanwhile, incidents of violence again came to light in West Bengal. Most of the incidents took place in Murshidabad and Jangipur. Clashes broke out between workers of the ruling Trinamool Congress, BJP, and Congress in both areas. All three parties have lodged complaints regarding election violence.

The bus bringing back the polling party burnt to ashes in Betul

After the completion of the third phase of voting, a bus returning with polling material and employees from six polling stations in Betul caught fire on Tuesday night. The bus was destroyed in the fire. All employees are safe in the accident. There is news of partial damage to voting material. However, the situation regarding voting material is not clear yet.
