EC deploys 48 more observers to J&K

The Election Commission on Friday decided to deploy 48 more polling observers to ensure free and fair elections in Jammu & Kashmir.

"The EC decided to deploy 30 senior Indian Administrative Service officers and 18 senior officers from revenue and other services in the state," a release from the commission said. "They will be assigned to different districts to cover all assembly segments in the state."

The decision was taken at a meeting of poll observers convened by the Election Commission to review the preparations for the assembly election in the state.

The meeting followed a three-day visit to the state earlier this week by the full commission headed by Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh and Election Commissioners T S Krishnamurthy and B B Tandon.

It was also decided at the meeting that each observer would undertake three visits covering the periods of nomination, scrutiny, voting, and counting, the release said.

These observers are in addition to the existing 17 special observers in all 14 districts of the state, who had been assigned to observe the implementation of the commission's initiatives to ensure a free and fair election.
