  • A specially-abled man has finally reclaimed his democratic right after a three-decade hiatus
  • Nabajyoti Borah's physical limitations had prevented him from visiting polling stations for years
  • Election Commission fulfilled his request by facilitating a home-voting option this year

Digital Desk: Nabajyoti Borah, a resident of Namgaon in Kaliabor, has finally reclaimed his democratic right after a three-decade hiatus.

\

Bedridden for nearly 25 years following a life-altering accident, Bora last cast his ballot in 1996.


Despite his persistent desire to participate in the electoral process, his physical limitations had prevented him from visiting polling stations for years.


This year, the Election Commission fulfilled his request by facilitating a home-voting option, allowing him to cast his vote from his bedside.


Overwhelmed with gratitude, Bora thanked the Commission for the initiative and issued a poignant plea to his fellow citizens, urging everyone to participate in the electoral process to strengthen the foundation of democracy.
