In this Gujarat assembly polls, provisions have been made for over 200 electors of an island off the state's coast to cast their vote in a shipping container, saving them a long journey to the nearest polling station in Bharuch district.
The shipping container as a makeshift polling station will be set up at Aliabet in the Vagra assembly constituency of the district, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar told reporters while announcing the poll schedule for the state. The polling station will have basic facilities such as drinking water.
There was no government or semi-government facility available in the village which apparently made it difficult to set up a polling centre.
