Birgunj, September 19

The counting of votes from the local level elections held yesterday has finally begun in Birgunj after 21 hours of conclusion of voting.

Earlier, the counting could not have begun as political parties demanded that CCTVs be installed at the counting hall to prevent any incident of rigging and consequent dispute.

However, the poll officials had stressed that installing CCTV was immediately impossible.

Later, the parties agreed to drop the demand and begin counting.

Birgunj is the only metropolitan city among 136 local units of Province 2 which went to the polls yesterday.
