SAR-I-PUL (Pajhwok): Thousands of people cast their ballot in a peaceful environment free of fear and threat during the runoff presidential election in northern Sar-i-Pul province, an official said Saturday.
Though Sar-i-Pul is in grip of growing insurgency over the past few months, but security forces adopted stringent security measures throughout the polls process following thorough support by the people.
Abdul Rahman Farid, director of the Independent Election Commission (IEC), said voting began on 7:00 am and concluded on 4:00pm with a positive note.
