Imphal, April 22 : Repolling is currently underway at 11 polling stations in the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha constituency amidst stringent security measures, officials confirmed on Monday.

The decision to conduct fresh polling came following a directive from the Election Commission, which deemed the voting held at these stations on April 19 as null and void.

“Since early morning, voters have been lining up to cast their votes at all 11 polling stations, which were affected by riot-like situations on Friday. There have been no reports of disturbances or violence so far on Monday,” stated an election official.

The repolling commenced at 7 am local time.

Fresh elections are being held at Moirangkampu Sajeb and Thongam Leikai in Khurai constituency, two each in Bamon Kampu and Irilbung in Kshetrigao constituency, Khongman Zone V in Thongju in Imphal East district, three in Iroishemba area in Uripok constituency, and Khaidem Makha in Konthoujam in Imphal West district, the official further elaborated.

Incidents such as firing, intimidation, EVM destruction, and allegations of booth capturing were reported from conflict-affected Manipur, which registered a turnout of 72 percent in the two Lok Sabha constituencies – Inner Manipur and Outer Manipur – on Friday.
