India's first voter casts vote in Himachal Pradesh polls
Shyam Saran Negi, who cast the first vote in Independent India in 1951, on Thursday voted at Kalpa polling station during Himachal Pradesh assembly elections. The 100-year-old, who has reportedly never missed an opportunity to vote, was deputed as the polling officer at Kalpa booth in 1951. He feels the same thrill everytime he votes, Negi's son said.
