Election Commission seeks mule exception for polls

The Election Commission appealed to the forest department for a "one-time exception," requesting the allowance of mules within Singalila National Park. This measure aims to alleviate the arduous five-hour trek required by poll officials to reach Srikhola village in Darjeeling. Situated at an altitude of 6,900 feet, Srikhola village hosts Bengal's most elevated and isolated polling booths.
