SEC assures action on plaints from 3 districts
The SEC had closely monitored the polling process, and held review meetings with District Collectors, Superintendents of Police, Police Commissioners, DIGs and election observers to ensure the smooth conduct of ULB elections.
The SEC said he had reviewed the polling situation with Collectors of 12 districts – Nandyal, Kadapa, Palnadu, Markapuram, Prakasam, Nellore, Tirupati, Chittoor, Anantapur, Kurnool, Annamayya and Sri Sathya Sai – for about 45 minutes. While most districts reported peaceful polling, a few minor complaints were received from some areas.
Punetha said the SEC would take appropriate action on complaints received from Kadapa, Anantapur and Palnadu districts, based on reports submitted by the respective Collectors and SPs.
Polling was conducted without any problems in districts stretching from Srikakulam to Guntur, he said.
Referring to allegations concerning polling agents in Pulivendula, the SEC said he had already spoken to the district SP, and further action would be taken after receiving the report.
