Repolling underway at Babyland English High School polling station in Assam's Sribhumi

Repolling is being conducted on April 11, at a polling station in Sribhumi district (Karimganj North) of Assam, following allegations of vote rigging and disturbances during the initial phase of polling on April 9.

The repolling process began at 7 AM at the Babyland English High School polling station, with voters turning up to exercise their franchise under heightened security arrangements.
