Interestingly, the three villages – Tirilposi, Rengdahatu and Boroi under Singhbhm Lok Sabha seat, witnessed polling for the first time in the last 20 years. Chief Electoral Officer K Ravi Kumar also asserted that not a single incident of violence took place at any of the polling booths in Jharkhand. Notably, since the region had Moist troubles for the last 20 years, the district administration in Singhbhum used to relocate the polling booths from these villages to safer zones. "Earlier, the area being troubled with Maoist activities, polling booths were relocated to some other places due to security reasons,” said the CRPF Commandant. Singhbhum also witnessed a few Maoist incidents where they cut down trees and blocked the road between Chhotanagra police station of Saranda forest and Hatnaburu-Marangponga under Digha Panchayat.
