‘Pink booths’ draw voters

New Delhi, May 12

‘Nari Shakti' was on display in the all-women staffed booths in Delhi Sunday which drew more women voters, especially from the Muslim community, officials said.

In a first for the city, as many as 17 all-woman staffed booths had been established for the Lok Sabha elections in the seven constituencies of Delhi, where from presiding officers to ground staff, all were women.

 North East Delhi Returning Officer Shashi Kaushal said the initiative was "very successful" and would "definitely contribute" to push voting percentage of women in this election. — PTI
