"I started my journey from United Nation's office at Sonawar and concluded it at the Institute  of Medical Sciences, Soura. All along the way, I only saw security forces, not a single voter, in front of polling booths. On the way, at Madina chowk, at 8:15 a.m, I observed that no voters were coming to the booth. Then, I toured Maisuma, Saria Bala, Habba Kadal and Chotta Bazar areas. Only a few voters, about 20, were seen around the booth at Chota Bazaar. I did not see anybody interested in casting his vote in these areas." - Ram Rattan Chaterjee.
