Polling began on Wednesday to elect panches and sarpanches in nine Haryana districts in the first phase of the three-phase voting. The polling took place in the districts of Bhiwani, Jhajjar, Jind, Kaithal, Mahendragarh, Nuh, Panchkula, Panipat and Yamunanagar.

In Nuh too, some incidents of fighting and stone pelting were reported from two villages, though police said these incidents did not take place at the polling booth and the poll process remained unaffected.

"There is no incident at the polling booth. However, there were some incidents of fighting and stone pelting in two villages," Nuh's superintendent of police Varun Singla told PTI.
