New Delhi: Delhi assembly polls today witnessed over 1,000 workers exercising their votes in G.B.Road red light area.

This could happen because of an enrolment drive by the election commission.

Khairati Lal Bhola, president of NGO Bhartiya Patita Uddhar Sabha, said around 70 percent of the over 1,500 sex workers with voter ID cards went to cast their votes in Ballimaran and Ajmeri Gate in the afternoon.

"The others were either not in Delhi, not well or were not allowed to vote as there were some discrepancies with their ID cards," Bhola said.
