Pre-poll measures encompass a multifaceted approach, with Flying Squad Teams (FST) and Static Surveillance Teams (SST) engaged in continuous 24-hour monitoring of campaigning activities.
Moreover, all police stations are conducting round-the-clock checks and vehicle inspections to prevent any untoward incidents or violations of the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
