As per preliminary data, the State's northern border of Manjeswaram registered 70.70 per cent voting, Kasaragod 70.90, Uduma 74.60, Kanhangad 71.40, and Thrikkarippur, 75.60. No major untoward incident were reported from across the district as eight companies of Central and para-military forces assisted the local police in maintaining law and order.

However, there were brief disruptions in the voting process in several polling booths in the district, where the gusty summer showers the other day had affected power supply, as the officials had to sweat under humid weather and use light candles to oversee that polling process. Voting process at a booth at the Kumbala Holy Angel's convent in the Manjeswaram segment was interrupted for around 20 minutes as the voting machine developed snags.

In an isolated incident, Kasaba beach in Nellikkunnu locality here witnessed group clashes involving BJP and IUML workers around 1 p.m. Two IUML workers sustained injuries and an autorickshaw was damaged. The injured accused the BJP workers of preventing them from voting.

With sky remaining overcast all through the day and rain keeping away, voters turned up in large numbers, forming serpentine queues in most polling stations in the district. The momentum came down for a while in the afternoon, only to pick up in the final hours.

The voting figure in the district touched close to 60 per cent as the clock ticked three. Elaborate arrangements made at the polling stations helped the aged and ailing persons cast their votes in a hassle-free manner.

Manjeswaram and Uduma segments, which witnessed interesting contests, saw a quantum jump in voter turnout right from morning.

New Delhi, Feb 24: India has deeply appreciated the Senegal government's decision to extradite fugitive gangster Ravi Poojary to India, official sources said on Sunday.

Facilitation of transit provided by the Government of France has also been acknowledged, they said.

Ravi Prakash Poojary, accused of committing a number of serious offences including murder and extortion in multiple jurisdictions, was extradited from Senegal on Saturday.

The probe agencies have persistently pursued the case for his extradition with the authorities in Senegal. India had made a request with Senegal for his extradition in early 2019, sources said.

Poojary was associated with gangster Chhota Rajan, but he also worked for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Mysuru, May 19: Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday announced the results of garbage free-star rating for Indian cities.

He said that Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh, Rajkot in Gujarat, Mysuru in Karnataka, Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra have got a five-star rating.

Puri extended the wishes to the cities who got a five-star rating and said it came at a time when the entire world, including India, are reeling under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

"It was the intention of my senior colleagues and others to declare the result of star rating of garbage-free cities much earlier but we decided to postpone because we wanted at least some degree of opening to take place and we thought the timing is correct," Puri said.

The minister said that of all the flagship programmes Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced, Swachta Mission is the most important programme for him.

"I have often shared with you my assessment that of all the flagship programmes that the Prime Minister had announced after the 2014 election results. But my personal view, a view I have had a citizen and certainly a view that is fortified by my experience as Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, that the Swachta Mission by far is the most important programme of all the missions," Puri said
