When voting started, EVMs (electronic voting machines) at over a dozen polling stations turned out to be faulty.

These EVMs were rectified by the poll staff and voters were allowed to cast their votes.

At Karalian polling station, most people said they were voting against corruption, price rise and fulfilment of promises made but not kept for ages.

Residents of Karalian village say whenever there is a violation of bilateral ceasefire agreement by Pakistan, this village has to pay heavily.

"Our crops get destroyed, cattle are not fed and children have to bunk schools. We need a prime minister who can ensure that life goes on without fear of the enemy," Nanak Chand, 45, told IANS.
