The digital voting machines (EVMs) utilized in Friday’s Lok Sabha elections had been shifted to the designated strong rooms within the respective constituencies within the central area.
The strong rooms can be guarded around the clock by the armed Central and State police personnel. Besides, internet cameras have been put in on the counting centre to guarantee steady monitoring, the officers stated.
In Tiruchi, the EVMs had been moved to the strong room at Jamal Mohamed College, which is the counting centre within the metropolis. The strong rooms had been sealed within the presence of Collector M. Pradeep Kumar, Election Observer (General) Dinesh Kumar, and brokers of the candidates.
Mr. Pradeep Kumar stated the strong room had been supplied with three-tier security. Closed circuit tv cameras (CCTVs) have been put in for round the clock monitoring. “I and the City Police Commissioner will visit the centre every day to check if everything is alright,” he stated.
Returning Officers of the opposite 5 Lok Sabha constituencies and Election Observers inspected the sealing of EVMs within the strong rooms.
