“I’ve just cast my vote, everything is working perfectly here at least in my unit. I’ve been talking to security agencies across the state, there has been an issue of people not been able to move to vote because of restriction of movement but we hope that will lighten up soon.”

He revealed that there had been an intelligence that some people planned to disrupt the voting process, “that’s why the security agencies are on red alert. We also got information that some people plan to impersonate the police and military with their uniform, but so far nothing of such.”
