Voting in the Tijara chairman election was extended until 10 PM after a councillor was detained in Haryana and failed to reach the polling center by 2 PM.
The election for the chairman of the Tijara municipality has taken an unexpected turn due to a legal incident involving one of the candidates. A councillor, who was a participant in the contest, was detained by the police in Haryana while returning from Panchkula. This detention prevented him from reaching the designated polling center by the standard cutoff time of 2 PM.
As the candidate was unable to cast his vote within the original timeframe, the election officials extended the voting hours to ensure all eligible candidates could participate. The polling process was officially extended until 10 PM to accommodate the delay and maintain the integrity of the democratic process.
The incident has added a layer of complexity to the already competitive race for the Tijara chairmanship. Authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure that the extension allows for a fair and complete voting process without further disruptions.
