Haryana: Polling halts in village

Voting to the Haryana assembly came to a short halt in Sikanderpur constituency on Wednesday as an official told women to show their faces. "How can a woman lift her 'ghoonghat' (veil) before elders of the village...," Ashok Yadav, a resident from Sikanderpur. "We decided to boycott the voting and informed higher authorities," he said.
