in the region. The voting process will end at 4 p.m. in the
Maoist-affected areas, while at rest of the places it will be over by 6

and state police forces. In Left wing extremism affected areas there
will be a minimum of one section of force present in every polling
station location while in other areas there will be at least half
section force present,” an election commission official said.
