Khetia (Madhya Pradesh): Eighty-six-year-old Mulkan Bai became the first voter in the district to cast her vote for the upcoming assembly elections. The event was graced by the presence of district election officer Dr Rahul Fating and SP Puneet Gehlot.

Voters were provided with the necessary forms in advance and the process of going door-to-door to facilitate their voting began on Monday.
Expressing her gratitude, Mulkan Bai commended the Election Commission for this thoughtful provision.
