Theme-based polling stations woo voters in Maharashtra
The Nagpur district administration hopes that the voters will get a new experience with this unique concept, which will also help increase the voter turnout.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA), which was supporting the Maharashtra resident doctors, has on Friday called off strike after meeting with state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
In a meeting, the chief minister brief the IMA representatives about the steps the government has taken to ensure the safety of doctors at hospitals.
Reports suggested that the CM told IMA representatives that more security has been provided in 16 hospitals since Thursday, and the government will make more arrangements in next 10 days.

Earlier in the day, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis came down heavily on the protesting resident doctors and said "enough is enough".
“Enough is enough. Now, the government can’t sit quiet. We cannot leave patients to die. Despite accepting all the demands, the doctors are not ready to withdraw their strike. They are forcing us to take a harsh step,” Fadnavis said in the Legislative Assembly.
The state government on March 22 had given strong warning to the protesting doctors and asked them to resume duty or face action.
For the fifth consecutive day on Friday, over 3,000 resident doctors were continuing their mass casual leave protesting against growing incidents of attacks by patients' relatives on them.
