Madhya Pradesh Voting: People risked their lives to vote in Sheopur Lok Sabha constituency

Lok Sabha elections are called the great festival of democracy. From the Election Commission to the leaders, everyone appeals to the public to vote. However, most people do not go to vote. Many people consider voting day as a holiday. In such a situation, a village in Madhya Pradesh has become an example for the entire country.

No bridge was built on this river for decades and a polling station was built on the other side of the river. In such a situation, how to go to vote? This question started troubling the villagers. So they all took off their clothes, crossed the river and reached the polling station to vote.
