Voters of urban areas turn up in large numbers
ARGHYA BHASKAR
NEW DELHI: While the voter turnout in posh localities of the Capital was considerably very low, urban villages like Ghazipur, Shakarpur, Hasanpur, Mandawali and other corners of East Delhi witnessed a huge turnout of voters amid brisk and peaceful polling on Sunday.
Polling booths in Patparganj constituency even saw long queues of voters who were charged with expectations for a change in their respective wards and societies. A decent crowd of voters also turned up at booths in Daryaganj, Turkman Gate, Chandni Chowk and Vikram nagar.
Most of the voters in Ghazipur village, ward 205, voted keeping in mind the issues of cleanliness, corruption in erstwhile MCD, lack of response by former office bearers and lack of reach of the overall services of the MCD. A couple of women voters after casting their vote mentioned that the MCD has been indifferent to the area’s demand at large and the residents have been unhappy with this unfair treatment by the authorities.
“Our area doesn’t even look half of what we get to see across the Yamuna, you can see for yourself the way garbage can be found lying around in Ghazipur. And then there is the landfill too,” said one of them.
Interestingly, a young voter chose to keep the Ghazipur landfill in his area out of his mind while voting. According to him, the erstwhile MCD tried its level best in tackling the issues of cleanliness and reducing the size of the landfill.
