Voters defy Maoists in Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh/ New Delhi, Nov 13 (ANI): A historic voter turnout of 67 per cent was registered in the first phase of Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh on November 11.

The Naxals tried to disrupt polling in some areas. They killed security personnel in Dantewada and Kanker. In comparison to 2008, the scale of violence was limited.
