Gunfire reported in a village in Tarn Taran

Polling for the Panchayat elections in Punjab commenced on Tuesday at 8 am, as citizens gathered in significant numbers from the early hours to participate in the democratic process. Observations from various regions across the state indicate that extensive lines of voters formed, with individuals demonstrating commendable patience while awaiting their turn to vote. However, it has been noted that in several locations, there were inadequate arrangements to assist elderly voters and those with physical disabilities, particularly the absence of wheelchairs to facilitate their access to polling stations.
