Re-poll in nine Nagaland booths peaceful

Re-poll was held peacefully at nine polling stations in eight assembly constituencies in Nagaland today, the Election Department said.
On an average, the nine booths recorded 75 per cent polling today, the sources said.
The Election Commission had ordered re-poll in these stations in view of violence and malpractices during the February 23 Assembly elections.
As all the nine polling stations were under sensitive or hyper sensitive categories, tight security arrangements had been made in and around the booths, the sources said.
