The State Congress Committee (PCC) has intensified its activities regarding the upcoming civic elections in Uttarakhand.

Laziness of supervisors became a challenge

PCC has received complaints from many districts that the observers have not yet reached the responsible bodies.

On the basis of this report, further election process will be expedited.
