The Election Commission today directed District Election Officers (DEOs) and district police chiefs in Rajasthan to finalise and submit plans for ensuring free and fair Assembly polls, to be held this winter, to Chief Election Officer by August 4.
Deputy Election Commissioner Vinod Zutshi asked officers to plan accordingly keeping in mind the state's "sensitive" booths, an election official said today.
Besides, keeping an eye on the expenditures of candidates during the elections, Zutshi has also asked officers to make arrangements for webcameras and videography at all the booths, he added.
Zutshi met district election officers and SPs of Dausa, Sawaimadhopur, Karauli, Alwar, Jaipur and Bharatpur to review the preparations for the forthcoming elections in the state.
Deputy Election Commissioner Sudhir Tripathi, Chief Election Officer (Rajasthan) Ashok Jain, Additional DG (Law and Order) Navdeep Singh, Rajasthan Police Academy Director BL Soni and some other officers were also present in the meeting.
