Hazaribagh (Jharkhand): In a bid to attract voters and increase the turnout on voting day, a polling booth in Ramgarh, which falls under Jharkhand's Hazaribagh parliamentary constituency, has been given the looks of train coaches.
Booth number 140 in Dulmi block has been given the looks of train coaches to attract maximum voters. Polling in Hazaribagh will be conducted on May 06 in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections.
Asking why the look of 'train coaches' was given to the polling booth, one of the villagers revealed to media that since most of the elders in Dulmi haven't travelled in trains, the polling booth was given the shape of a train so that maximum senior citizens show up on May 06.
"The idea to give the look of train coaches to this school is to create awareness among voters and increase the voting percentage. People are very excited and are visiting this place. Even children will be happy when they come back," Dulmi's Block Development Officer Jaya Shankhi Murmu told media.
