The Election Commission today released a video CD to encourage awareness and participation of voters in two Assembly segments under the Kolkata North parliamentary constituency.

The initiative was taken as the two assembly segments of Jorasanko and Chowringhee had recorded the lowest turnout of less than 54 per cent votes in the 2011 assembly elections, state CEO Sunil Gupta said.

The video highlighting the heritage places of North Kolkata and capturing its narrow by-lanes would convince the voters of their rights, DEO of Kolkata Durgadas Goswami said.

Such audio and video clips would also be uploaded on Youtube and Facebook.
