Vote Counting Underway Amid Tight Security

Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer, Pankaj Agarwal, confirmed that three-tier security measures were in place at all counting venues across the state. A total of 93 counting centres have been established for the 90 assembly constituencies spread across 22 districts.

The major parties vying for power in the state include the BJP, Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, INLD-BSP, and JJP-Azad Samaj Party. However, the majority of constituencies are witnessing a direct contest between the BJP and Congress.

Special arrangements have been made for certain constituencies, with two counting centres each for Badshahpur, Gurugram, and Pataudi. The remaining 87 constituencies have one counting centre each. To ensure transparency, the Election Commission of India has appointed 90 observers to oversee the counting process.
