District Collector Snehil Kumar Singh on Wednesday directed all political party leaders to secure prior permission for hosting election rallies, public conventions, and road shows.
Mr. Singh, who is also the District Election Officer, asked party leaders and campaigners to follow the same rule while using microphones and vehicles for electioneering. Letters carrying the latest instructions were also sent to party leaders as part of the intensified surveillance.
Only those who secure prior permission from the election authorities using the online application system will be permitted to hold rallies and campaigns in public places. The portal — suvidha.eci.gov.in — can be accessed for submitting applications.
