Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Seers cast their vote at polling booth set up in Uttarakhand's Gangotri for first time

Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Uttarakhand sees fewer people out for voting During winter, traders, shopkeepers and even locals move to lower areas. But, the seers remain confined in their huts throughout the year. Woman seer Dharmnisth Giri, 45, was delighted to cast her vote for the first time. 'I have exercised my voting right for the first time today as the polling booth has been set up here. I feel a part of the system now,' she said. Ashish Chauhan, district election officer of Uttarkashi, said by 3pm, 54 voters exercised their franchise. 'We understood it's impossible for seers to travel several kilometres to vote. So, we set up a booth in the shrine. We want every resident of the state to participate in the elections.'
