NDTV
Jamtara, once known for its ties to reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, has gained a darker reputation as a cybercrime hub, drawing national attention after becoming the subject of a web series
The first phase of the Jharkhand assembly election is over. Now, all eyes are on Jamtara, a region in the state notorious for cyber frauds, yet brimming with promises of change and development.
On November 20, the people of Jamtara will decide between 13 candidates, but the contest is particularly heated between two candidates - Congress MLA Irfan Ansari and BJP's Sita Soren, the daughter-in-law of Jharkhand's political veteran Shibu Soren and sister-in-law of Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
Congress MLA Irfan Ansari rallies with the message of progress, touting his work in infrastructure and social development. His track record includes the construction of roads, hospitals, and a major bridge - one he claims to be the largest in Jharkhand's history.
