Political parties seeking permissions for holding meetings and other programmes as part of the election campaign need to apply beforehand for permissions, GHMC Commissioner and Hyderabad District Election Officer Ronald Rose said.
Speaking at a meeting organised with representatives of recognised political parties ahead of the Parliamentary elections, Mr. Rose said permissions will be given through a single-window system, but applications need to be filed online 48 hours ahead of the scheduled meeting only through the Suvidha portal.
Permissions will be accorded on a ‘first come first serve’ basis and will not be given manually, he said. Loudspeakers should not be used between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., he said.
