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.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had a miraculous escape on Thursday after his chopper got entangled in overhead wires and crash landed in Latur district of the state.
The state government's Sikorsky helicopter VT-CMM took off from Nilanga town, near Latur around noon with Fadnavis along with three officials and two crew members.
Shortly after take-off, the pilot noticed variable wind patterns and decided to return. As the helicopter turned around, it got entangled in some overhead electrical wires near the helipad and crash-landed there.

The CM and the officials with him escaped unhurt but the chopper suffered substantial damage.
“Our helicopter did meet with an accident in Latur but me and my team is absolutely safe and ok. Nothing to worry,” tweeted Fadnavis shortly after the accident.
