Chhattisgarh election 2023: The second and final phase of voting concluded across 70 Assembly constituencies in the state where an estimated 68 per cent turnout was recorded amid heavy security arrangements until the 5 pm deadline on Friday though the final figure is likely to be higher as queues were observed on numerous polling centres’ premises.

A constable of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police attained martyrdom and an unspecified number of officials sustained injuries in an explosion triggered by insurgents who targeted a polling team returning from Bade Gobra in Gariaband district.

An additional force and an ambulance have been rushed from Mainpur.
