20 counting centres in district; initial trends likely to be available from 8.15 a.m. All arrangements have been completed for the counting of votes polled in the local body elections held on Monday. The counting will start at the 20 designated counting centres at 8 a.m. on Wednesday. Initial trends will be available from 8.15 a.m. and the results of some local bodies with less number of wards will be available by 9 a.m. Most results are expected to be revealed by noon.
Stress on use of biodegradable materials
The green booths set up in different parts of the district on account of the local body polls were crowd pullers in many places. With the total green look provided by the banners and decorations made of coconut leaves and other eco-friendly materials, they evoked the curiosity of the voters. Many were seen approaching the booths with a look of “What is this all about” and were impressed by the explanation given by the volunteers.
“This is exactly what we wanted. To evoke the curiosity and thus create an awareness against the use of non-biodegradable materials,” Shailesh E.P., Junior Health Inspector of Kozhikode Corporation, explained.
