The threat of river erosion has forced the administration in Goalpara district of western Assam to shift two polling centres in the Jaleswar Assembly segment of the Dhubri Lok Sabha constituency. Accordingly, the booths have been shifted from the Paschim Kathuri and Amtoli Sundarpara lower primary schools to the Paschim Kathuri Hasnara Pre-Senior Madrasa and Sakhanipara New lower primary school, respectively. Deputy Commissioner Varnali Deka said repairs of another centre — the Meselkhowa lower primary School — damaged by a storm had been ordered.
