With the Election Commission disbanding the flying and static surveillance squad teams, farmers’ organisations have urged the poll body to relax the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in the State.
The code of conduct came into effect after the announcement of Lok Sabha election on March 16. Many curbs were imposed on carrying cash, implementing new schemes, launching new projects, organising government functions, and others. The weekly grievance redress meetings and the monthly farmers’ grievance day meetings were suspended. However, citizens continued to visit the Collector’s office and other government offices seeking welfare assistance and others on Monday. The officials ask the people to come back after the second week of June.
With the voting in all the 39 Lok Sabha constituencies in the State completed, farmers’ organisations have sought lifting of restrictions on day-to-day functioning of the government offices, particularly with regard to implementation of welfare measures.
