Gurdaspur : Polling in all 23 zila parishad and 201 block samiti zones in the district went off peacefully. Congress leaders alleged that SAD-BJP leaders indulged in electoral malpractices in several zones.
Polling in the adjoining district of Pathankot, which will have a new 10-member zila parishad, also went off peacefully.
There were reports of gunshots being fired by SAD supporters in Shampura that comes within the jurisdiction of the Batala police station. But these allegations were refuted by Deputy Commissioner Abhinav Trikha.
Gurdaspur SSP Sukhwant Singh Gill visited the booths declared hyper-sensitive to ensure that there was no untoward incident.
Partap Singh Bajwa, who camped in his hometown of Qadian throughout the day, claimed that former Cabinet Minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan had violated the poll code by driving in a cavalcade of more than 25 vehicles through several villages of the Qadian Vidhan Sabha segment this morning.
“I complained to the SSP but to no avail,” Bajwa said.
