“The Ministry of Home Affairs would like to assure all voters in Jharkhand that they should have no concerns about security, and they will be able to exercise their franchise freely and fearlessly,” the Ministry said in a statement here. Elections for the 81-member Assembly will be spread over five phases, beginning November 25 and concluding on December 18.
