The first phase of Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal witnessed turmoil as clashes and voter boycotts marred the polling process. Reports of clashes between TMC and BJP workers emerged from various constituencies, including Cooch Behar and Alipurduar. Additionally, voters in Uttarakhand's Almora boycotted polls, demanding improved infrastructure. Despite these challenges, voter turnout reached 32% by 11 am. The state, known for its fiercely contested elections, remains a battleground as parties vie for dominance in one of India's most politically significant regions.
