Class 11 student Puneet woke up at 3 am on Wednesday. He was among the thousands of student volunteers from government schools deployed at election booths to ensure a smooth polling experience as voters across the Capital stepped out to exercise their franchise.
“I am very excited. I am doing this for the first time, and every time someone thanked me for helping them, it made me happy. It feels like I have grown up. It is a big responsibility,” said the 16-year-old as he helped voters at a pink booth at MCD Primary School in Madangir village of the Ambedkar Nagar Assembly constituency.
