"The security forces require to follow SOP or do's and don'ts (so that) there will be ordinarily no problem," Sampath said at a press conference here.
"We had (separate) meetings with IGs, DIGs, district deputy commissioners, superintendents of police, Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and other senior officials," said Sampath, who was on a two-day visit to Jharkhand to review the yet-to-be announced assembly elections.
Stating that the SOP would be given to the security forces during deployment, he said "officers were asked to ensure violence-free and peaceful polling."
Some political parties yesterday complained that there had been excess deployment of forces in urban areas during April Lok Sabha polls while there was thin presence at places where forces were genuinely required in adequate number.
"It (the complaint) may be correct or incorrect. We have asked the officials to have a thorough survey for (to ensure) judicious deployment," Sampath added.
On political parties request for flexibility in the strict defacement act, Sampath said Bihar had amended the act and Jharkhand government could consider it.
He said officials were asked to keep a strict vigil on "proxy candidates" so that they did not take undue facilities as per the law.
Some political parties yesterday reportedly drew the attention of the CEC that big parties had taken advantage from proxy candidates' facilities during the Lok Sabha elections and it should be checked during the upcoming assembly elections.
