Voting Day: A senior's persistence

Report by Kavhya Suraj

Shankaranarayanan, a 96 year old resident of Mangammal Street, seen outside a Mylapore polling booth was quite enthusiastic about voting.

He was accompanied by his son and was using a wheelchair. Even though the ramp at the booth was not very useful for him because the ramp was very narrow for his wheelchair.

Still Shankaranarayanan was persistent and with the help of four other people and his son, he was carried and helped to vote. 


He also told me that for the past three generations his family has been voting at the same station.
