Baramulla, Oct 1: In a quiet corner of the Kunzar-B polling station in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, Shabana Begum, an elderly woman over 80, rested under the warm sun after casting her vote. Having witnessed many governments come and go, her faith in the democratic process remains steadfast.
“I came here to vote because I believe we need an elected representative who will bring the changes we need,” she said.
In the third and final phase of the assembly elections, a wave of hope swept across Baramulla district. Elderly voters, some in their 80s and 90s, made their way to polling stations with determination and resilience.
Despite the challenges of old age, they cast their ballots, showing their deep desire for change and a brighter future for Jammu & Kashmir.
Among the remarkable voters was 88-year-old Mohammad Satar, who walked slowly with the aid of a stick, supported by a family member. His frail body reflected the passage of time, but his spirit remained strong as he exercised his right to vote in Kunzar.
For Satar, this vote symbolised hope for development. “I voted for progress and development,” he told KNO. His quiet determination reflected years of experience.
Raja Begum, another 90-year-old voter, made her way to the polling booth, her resolve unshaken by age. “I cast my ballot today hoping a government will finally be formed and we will have elected representatives,” she said. “It has been too long since we had an elected ruler. Today, I am here for a change.”
These elderly voters, who required assistance or struggled to walk, showcased the excitement and faith of the people of Baramulla in the power of democracy.
The exit polls for Jammu & Kashmir will be published after 6:00 pm on October 5, 2024. According to official data, over 7.24 lakh electors are eligible to cast their votes, and more than 39 lakh electors are deciding the fate of 415 candidates in the final phase of elections.
