A prominent boycott bastion, Palhallan chooses ballots for change this time

 

 

Says casting votes to end circumstances that led to miserable situation

 

Palhallan: In a significant shift, the people of Palhallan, a region known for its historical election boycotts, turned out in large numbers today to cast their votes, marking a break from the past.

 

According to KNO, voters were seen standing in long queues since morning, signalling their determination to participate in the democratic process and bring about change.

 

“We have been boycotting continuously, but that has only added to our miseries and nothing else,” said Manzoor Ahmed, a local resident who was among the first to cast his vote.

 

He expressed hope that by choosing ballots over boycotts, the people of Palhallan can finally address the issues that have plagued the area for years. “We are casting our votes to end the circumstances that have led to our miserable situation. We are hopeful of a better future,” he added.

 

Similarly, many voters echoed similar sentiments, citing the lack of basic facilities in the region as a key reason for turning up at the polling booths. “We are hopeful that by voting, we can bring development and improve the basic amenities that Palhallan has been deprived of for so long,” said another resident in the queue.
