“This is something which makes me and other happy too. By volunteering in the election process by helping people I can bring smile on people face. Such things and activities during electoral process boost up moral of voters to come and vote,” she said.
“I am too excited about this. I got to see Rahul Gandhi who had come to vote here. We cannot go inside where votes are being cast but we can be around the polling booth. We are greeting people with flowers and even providing water to elderly people.
If somebody needs any help, we are here,” said Soumya, a class eight student at Greater Kailash.
Similar excitement was shared by Sarthak Chaudhary, another class 8 student, at a polling booth in Gujranwala town.
“If anybody wants to check their names in the voter list before getting inside, I have been helping them out. Fulfilling any requests for wheelchair and facilitating early entry of pregnant women are part of my duties,” he said.
