Bharatpur, April 23: Wire net and CCTV cameras have been installed at Chitwan’s vote-counting place to make the place secure. Altogether nine CCTV cameras were installed in the place where vote-counting of the by-election is taking place, according to Ishwor Acharya, assistance election officer.

Time for the counting would be determined after all-parties’ meeting, he said.
According to Election Commission of Nepal, 63 per cent votes were cast in Chitwan constituency-2 by-election.
