What facilities will you be provided with while waiting for your turn to exercise your right to franchise in the state assembly polls? mid-day gives you a glimpse of the preparedness of polling booths in major constituencies it visited, to gauge the situation.
Worli
At the Worli Naka polling station in Worli Naka Municipal School, wooden ramps were expected to arrive in the evening yesterday. Tables and chairs were being arranged. Since the venue is a school, drinking water and toilets are available. Interestingly, since most polling booths here are on the first floor, authorities have provided a makeshift ‘doli’ in pic to ferry senior citizens and persons with disabilities PWDs to the first floor. This provision had also been made in the municipal elections two years ago.
