Agartala: Tripura has once again achieved the highest ever turnout in the second phase of Lok Sabha polls with 80.32 percent votes polled till 8 PM on Friday. The figures are further expected to increase as polling continued in 20 odd polling stations in the night.
Even as most of the polling parties returned to their base, some officials were yet to wrap up the polling, Chief Electoral Officer Puneet Agarwal has said.
Dismissing the allegations of any major poll malpractices, the CEO said, “The polls were by and large peaceful. The voters have come out in large numbers to cast their votes responding to the initiatives undertaken by the Election Commission. I sincerely thank the voters and the political parties who are the major stakeholders of the democratic exercise.”
