Nashik (Maharashtra): Couples across the country are choosing to keep the poll day out while selecting their wedding date. The voting for the Nashik Lok Sabha Constituency is underway. Since the day is of utmost importance, marriages have been cancelled and people have been asked to reschedule events planned on this day.
Shahr-e-Qazi Haji Nizamuddin Khatib from Maharashtra's Nashik asked not to perform Nikah (marriage) on the fifth and last phase of the election day in Maharashtra to increase the voter turnout. At least seven 'Nikah' were cancelled on the voting day in the city and have been postponed to Tuesday (May 21). Khatib also appealed to the people to exercise their vote.
Voter turnout should increase to strengthen the democracy in the country. Seven Nikah and other public events have been cancelled on Monday, the Qazi added.
