Women officials to adorn silk saris sporting election message in Chamarajanagar

Senior women officials of the Chamarajanagar district administration are expected to adorn specially-designed silk saris sporting a message that seeks to encourage voter participation on the day of elections on April 26.

Deputy Commissioner of Chamarajanagar Shilpa Nag, who is also the Election Officer for Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency, unveiled a batch of specially woven handloom silk sarees sporting the message “Chunavana Parva – Deshada Garva”, (Festival of elections is country’s pride), at the district administration headquarters in Chamarajanagar on Monday.

The saris had been specially woven and designed by the handloom weavers of Chamarajanagar at the request of the district’s Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) committee to create awareness among the voters to exercise their franchise on April 26.
