Consecutive holidays affect distribution in GHMC limits
Hyderbad: Continuous three days holidays affected the voter ID card and voter slip distribution in the GHMC limits, said Telangana CEO Rajat Kumar on Sunday.
He added that distribution of voter ID cards and voter slip though reached 95 per cent in the state. He said because of holidays-- Babu Jagjivan Ram birth anniversary, Ugadi festival and Sunday-- the distribution process was affected in GHMC limits.
