Voting at two polling booths has been suspended at the Janata Secondary School voting station, Hariraha of Dakeshwori Municipality-2 in Saptari district today. 

According to the Election Officer Shambhunath Magar, the voting had to be suspended as locals manhandled the polling officer Bipin Yadav over a dispute that arose in course of the voting. They had also smashed the ballot box.

Although the Election Officer and the assistant Election Officer tried to resume the voting by calling the political parties, an all-party meeting decided to put on hold the voting as the ballot box was broken and the ballot papers had been torn and scattered.
