Locals have warned that they will boycott the upcoming House of Representatives elections if a polling station is not established in Harkatti, Aurahi Rural Municipality-1, Siraha. Locals of Harkatti and Kundalpur have announced a boycott of the vote.
Earlier, a polling station was designated for voters here in Darahiya. However, after local leaders took the initiative saying that this polling station was far away, the District Election Office, Siraha, had added a polling station to the basic school in Harkatti. However, after ward chairperson Suraitlal Thakur and four ward members jointly filed a writ petition in the High Court, Rajbiraj against the decision to add a polling station, the court has issued an order to immediately maintain the status quo. Locals are angry that there will be no polling station here.
