People queue to vote at a polling station during the sixth phase of the general election in south Kashmir's Anantnag district, India, on Saturday. The overall turnout in the same phase of the last elections in 2019 was about 63%. "There is a concern, but we hope that people will overcome the fear of the heatwave and come and vote," Delhi Chief Electoral Officer P. Krishnamurthy told Reuters. Voting in the elections began on April 19 and will conclude on June 1, with counting set for June 4. "My main issues are clean water, electricity, access to good healthcare and education," he said, adding that the Kejriwal-led Delhi government "has given us that till now".
