Into the Wild: Polling booth in Gir forest for single voter

Junagadh/Jamnagar, Apr 22 (UNI) Thoroughly following its election motto of "no one is left behind', the Election Commission has setup a polling booth in Gir forest for a single voter and a mid-sea booth on a small island off Gujarat coast for 40-odd voters who will exercise their franchise on Tuesday.
Of the 51,851 booths in Gujarat around 400 odd have been identified as 'difficult-access' ones.
Among the most difficult among these are the Banej temple booth, setup in deep forest for just one voter, the 62 year old priest Mahant Bharatdas Darshandas of the temple associated with Mahabharata period anecdotes, and the one at Ajad island situated at around 30 km off Okha coast under Jamnagar LS constituency with just 40 odd voters.
There is no row at position 0.
