Chandigarh, (IANS) Long queues formed at polling stations across Haryana as balloting took place for 90 assembly seats Wednesday. Nearly 15 percent polling was reported from Haryana in the first three hours.

A clash took place between BJP and INLD workers in Baansgaon of Narnaund assembly constituency in Hisar district. BJP candidate Abhimanyu alleged that INLD workers captured the polling booth and stopped the webcast from there. Kurukshetra and Yamunanagar districts led in polling with nearly 20 percent and 17 percent voting.
