But security operatives comprising policemen and soldiers said the restroom order must be strictly adhered to prevent hoodlums from disrupting the election.
The security agents said the voters should leave their vehicles and motorcycles and trek to their polling centres. But the voters said their polling centers were very far away from where they were stopped.
