In the ongoing sixth phase of India’s national elections, residents of a village in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir are casting their votes today.

The incident took place in Chamber village in the Poonch district on May 25.

Visuals showed people standing in queues waiting for their turn to vote in the polling booth. These elections are part of the Lok Sabha elections, which determine the members of the lower house of India’s Parliament.

The Lok Sabha, or House of the People, is a crucial legislative body in India, and its elections are held every five years. The current elections are being conducted in multiple phases to accommodate the vast number of voters across the country.

Poonch, located in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, is participating in this significant democratic process today. Local authorities have set up polling stations across the district to ensure smooth and fair voting. The election results will play a critical role in shaping India’s government and its policies for the next five years.
