For the first time Andaman's Shompen tribe exercised their voting rights

For the first time in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, seven members of the Shompen tribe, a particularly vulnerable tribal group (PVTGs) of Great Nicobar Islands exercised their voting rights for the lone Lok Sabha seat in the union territory, an official said.

  • Not only Shompen tribe members exercised their voting rights at polling station 411 named as 'Shompen Hut'. 
  • They posed for selfies at a designated cut-out made by the Election Commission of India, which reads - "I vote for sure".
  • The Shompen tribes were assisted in their language by an interpreter known as 'Mathiyas' (a Nicobari tribal youth).
