Jharkhand Boosts Vigilance for Bihar Elections

Jharkhand's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ravi Kumar has intensified security measures in anticipation of the Bihar Assembly elections. Following a high-level meeting with heads of various enforcement agencies, Kumar issued strict directives to ensure a smooth and fair electoral process. The focus is on preventing any illegal activities that could potentially influence the outcome of the elections. Given that 10 districts of Jharkhand share borders with Bihar, the CEO emphasized the need for seamless coordination between state agencies and their Bihar counterparts. Mirror checkposts have been established along these porous borders to maintain vigilant surveillance over the movement of cash, liquor, drugs, and other inducements.
