Thane District Collector Ashok Shingare said on Wednesday that he will take corrective measures after the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Rajiv Kumar, voiced his concern over poor voter turnout in urban constituencies, including Thane and Colaba.
“We are really concerned about urban apathy. We want to appeal to all voters in urban areas to come and vote. It is not a healthy trend, which is reflected,” CEC Kumar said as he announced on Tuesday the poll schedules for Maharashtra.
