For the first time since Jharkhand's creation in 2000, residents of five Maoist-affected villages in Chatra district cast their votes at local booths. This milestone, attributed to the efforts of the district administration, saw voter turnout exceeding 50%, reflecting a significant change from previous years.
A 17-year-old girl from Jharkhand's Chatra district, who sustained serious burn injuries in an acid attack, was on Wednesday airlifted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi for better treatment, officials said.
