Peaceful repolling in two booths

Medininagar (Jharkhand), December 20: Repolling at one booth each in Hussainabad and Chhatarpur assembly constituencies today ended peacefully amid tight security.

While the booth in Chhatarpur recorded a mere 17 per cent voting, the booth in Hussainabad registered 40 per cent voting, official sources said here.

The repoll was necessitated as polling was affected on December 18 following the Maoists blowing up a 15-metre long culvert in Chhatarpur while a policeman was killed in a landmine blast in Hussainabad, the sources said.

Results for the 81 seats will be declared on December 23.
