The Election Commission has ordered repolling in 15 polling stations across West Bengal’s Diamond Harbour and Magrahat Paschim constituencies following complaints of irregularities during the April 29 voting. The affected booths include 11 in Magrahat Paschim and 4 in Diamond Harbour, where polling was declared void. Fresh voting will be conducted on May 2 between 7 am and 6 pm. The decision comes after reports of violence, alleged EVM tampering, and disruptions at polling stations. West Bengal witnessed a high voter turnout exceeding 90%, though the election process was marred by incidents in certain areas. Counting of votes is scheduled for May 4. (PC: PTI)
