A total of 10,829 police personnel will be deployed for election related work in Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur and Tiruvannamalai districts on Friday to ensure peaceful polling.
Election officials said that police in these districts have roped in personnel from all wings, including the Armed Reserve, the law and order and the traffic. Also, additional police personnel from neighbouring States like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, CRPF personnel, retired army staff and policemen will do election related duties in these districts.
“Persons with disabilities, senior citizens, pregnant women and feeding mothers need not wait in the queue to vote. They can go directly to the booths,” District Election Officer (Tiruvannamalai) D. Bhasakara Pandian said.
