Where ferryboat is the lone mode of transport
The polling personnel had to go to their concerned polling booth by foot along alluvial land of a river and by boat. The booth is situated at Fersabari village under Tufanganj-II block in Cooch Behar district. There are about 400 voters at the village. The Raidak river has encircled this tiny village and so ferryboat service is the lone transport facility there for the villagers. The villagers have been demanding construction of a bridge for a long but no one came out to lend ears. Now, the polling personnel have to cross the river by boat and they have to go on foot along the alluvial land to reach their destination.
Not only Fersabari, there are three other booths in Tufanganj-II block that are encircled by the Ridak river. The polling personnel had to make an additional journey of about 45-kilometre there through Assam. These booths are at Chhoto Salbari, Rampur and Bhanukumari.
As the area is close to the Bengal-Assam border additional security measures have been taken to ensure peaceful election. Paramilitary forces have been deployed to maintain peace and ensure free and fair poll.
