It is pertinent to mention here that with the campaigning for the Lok Sabha election continuing, the weather across the State is also fluctuating by the day. In a mountainous State like Uttarakhand, the weather along with the geography are a major factor in elaborate exercises like the election. As the authorities are preparing to protect both the voters and personnel from the heat forecast during the polling, the weather in Uttarakhand continues to fluctuate.
