With the term of the Telangana Assembly scheduled to end in January 2024, the Election Commission of India (ECI) is focussed on assessing the preparedness of the State election authority for smooth conduct of polls.
A high-level delegation of ECI, comprising senior deputy election commissioners, election commissioners and senior officials will be arriving in the city on Thursday on a three-day visit. The ECI delegation would first engage in crucial meetings with the Telangana CEO, special police nodal officer, and other senior officials to exchange insights and strategies regarding election security-related issues.
The delegation would then hold discussions with the district collectors, superintendents of police and other senior officials to explain the importance of starting the preparations early. The collectors/SPs are likely to be educated about the issues that should be focussed on as part of preparations.
