Haritha Polling Stations Boost Voter Turnout in Warangal · deccanchronicle.com

In Warangal, there's a special kind of polling station called 'Haritha' or Green Polling Stations.

These stations are decorated with green leaves and have messages about taking care of the environment and the importance of voting.

The idea is to make people feel good about voting and to encourage more people to vote.

The stations have signs that say things like 'Vote for a better future' and 'Protect nature'.

A lady named Satya Sharada started this idea, and she visited many of these stations to make sure everything was going well.

The stations have more people voting than the regular ones, which is great!
