In Sikar's Hapas village, a clash broke out during polling after two people, including an elderly man, allegedly attempted to enter a polling booth carrying mobile phones. Police personnel stopped them, leading to a heated argument and commotion at the booth. A senior police officer told HT that both were detained for disturbing peace. Meanwhile, two election personnel died of suspected heart attacks in separate incidents in Bundi and Dholpur districts. Polling officer Bablu Lal Gurjar, a physical training instructor deployed at the Khinya polling station under Hindoli Panchayat Samiti in Bundi, collapsed after his health suddenly deteriorated. He was rushed to the district hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him through CPR, but he died during treatment. Tehsildar Ratan Lal Meena said preliminary information suggested Gurjar had a history of heart-related ailments. In Dholpur, head constable Bhagwan Swaroop Meena, posted at Sarmathura police station, died after suffering a suspected heart attack on Friday night while on election duty. He had gone to his quarters on the police station premises for dinner around 11 pm when he suddenly fell ill. Fellow policemen rushed him to Sarmathura Hospital, from where he was referred to Karauli. He died on the way. Polling was also disrupted by boycotts in several villages over local grievances. In Baran district, residents of Mundkya and Mundki villages, affected by the Andheri Irrigation Project in the Chhabra area, boycotted voting, demanding a fresh survey and inclusion of both villages in the project's submergence area. The villagers had submitted a memorandum to the Sub-Divisional Officer a day earlier. SDM Sapna Kumari and DSP Tarachand attempted to persuade them to participate in the elections. Residents of Bhojraj Ki Dhani also boycotted polling over objections to reservation of seats for Other Backward Classes. In Bharatpur's Ghasola village, under Sewar Panchayat Samiti, residents boycotted voting in protest against changes to their Gram Panchayat boundaries. Villagers alleged that their village had been shifted from Bahnera Gram Panchayat to the newly formed Nagla Bartai Gram Panchayat for political reasons. They claimed that Ghasola, with around 2,500 voters, should have been designated the Panchayat headquarters instead of Nagla Bartai, which had approximately 1,494 voters and was located about seven km away. In Jaisalmer's Randha Gram Panchayat, villagers boycotted polling to protest the allotment of 2,000 bighas of land to a private company for a solar power project. Voting was initially halted at booths 78 and 79 but resumed after Fatehgarh Tehsildar Sanwarmal Meena held discussions with the protesters. Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasara, who cast his vote along with his wife and son at booth number 193 of Mahatma Gandhi Government School in Sutod village under Nechwa Panchayat Samiti, criticised the BJP government over the delay in holding the elections. "The government delayed the Panchayati Raj elections, which has stalled development work in villages," Dotasara said, claiming that voters would reject the BJP....
