waiting all day for the voters that never showed up. Polling personnel in 738 polling stations in six Eastern Nagle districts waited for nine hours on Friday. But not one of the over four LA voters in this region, including the 20 elected es, turned up to vote. So this is the first time I'm experiencing. So far, no boat has been casted. And will the policy be? No. We all, uh, giving a new experience. While about 56% of Nagaland 13.25 black voters have voted for the lone looks of a seat, one third of Nagaland that is the eastern region decided to abstain after a shutdown and absentment call by the eastern Nagaland People Organisation of the EP that had spearheaded a movement for the frontier Nagaland territory, which would give the region more administrative and financial autonomy.

Carl Halo WNKE MP OK Central garment bra The Election Commission says it had made all efforts to conduct polling in the six districts covering 20 of Nagaland 60 assembly segments, but has no explanation for why voter turnout was still zero compared to the 87.5% in these districts in 2019.

Whether voting is uh where voting is going on and where it is not going on are peaceful, their activities, whatever they are doing, they know best, but as government of India and also as the state we will also take appropriate action. Last year, during the Nagaland assembly polls, similar boycott calls were made in eastern Nagaland. The crisis was resolved then with the intervention of the union home minister. There were a series of conversation between Amish's office and representatives of the ENP. But the demands remain unfulfilled. And with all 20 of the MS from this region that represent seven backward tribes in these six eastern Nagaland districts staying away from voting their stand has perhaps now only hardened.
