A grieving family in Ba did not allow their grief to stop them from turning up at the A.D. Patel College to cast their vote.

Sixty-four-year-old Hemant Kumar says their family is saddened by the deaths of his brother-in-law and uncle earlier this week.

It may be a difficult time for the family, but they are determined to exercise their constitutional right to vote.
