KARAIKAL: 'Pink Polling Booths', an initiative by the Karaikal district administration, was introduced to make a statement on women empowerment and self reliability.
The booths were run by an all-women team. Arches of pink balloons decorated the entrances of polling booths; women wore pink-coloured attire and tables too had pink draperies to add to the mood. This was how some of the polling booths in the district welcomed the voters.
