নৌকা-লঞ্চই ভরসা, জলপথেই পৌঁছচ্ছে ভোটের সরঞ্জাম পাথরপ্রতিমায়

Nirbheek Bengali, South 24 Pargana Geographical location surrounded by rivers and creeks - the wheel of democracy has not stopped. Election preparations are going on in full swing in the South 24 Parganar Stone Statue Assembly Centre, where water is the only way to reach many areas. There are a total of 15 village panchayats and about 281 polling stations in this centre. Of these, 90 villages are located entirely in riverine areas, where it is not possible to reach by road. As a result, boats and launches have become the only reliance. On Tuesday morning, a special journey started from the Ramganga Business Office of Pattarpratima block, which is being used as a sector office in this election. All voting equipment including ballot units, control units, VVPAT machines are being sent to various booths by boat and launch. The responsible officers have already started assuming specific responsibilities. From sector officer to polling officer, everyone is prepared to complete the polling properly. Central Army soldiers are there in every team for security. Although this scene is not new for the local people, it seems to create a different feeling every time. The message of democracy reaches across the river in boats. Despite the adverse circumstances, the interest of the people of this region in exercising their voting rights is as visible as ever. It has been informed by the administration that all preparations will be completed within the stipulated time. In favorable weather, work is going on at a fast pace. Crossing the river, breaking the source - it is clear once again that the path of democracy never stops.
