According to Election Commission officials, 291 polling stations have been set up in the constituency, where 2,20,344 voters will exercise their franchise to decide the electoral fate of 21 candidates.
The nearly 12-hour blockade on NH-44 by over 3,000 protesters left the Datia Superintendent of Police and several police personnel injured before security forces cleared the highway and arrested some agitators, officials said.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced that bypolls in Datia will be held on July 30, along with one Assembly seat each in Bihar and Gujarat
