Security and Tech Measures Ensure Smooth Manjalpur By‑Election

The Election Commission deployed a range of technology‑driven safeguards for the Manjalpur poll. All 260 polling centres were covered by live web‑casting and CCTV monitoring. Mobile‑collection counters were set up outside each booth, allowing voters to deposit phones before entering. The ECNIT app updated voting percentages every two hours, keeping officials informed. Two polling stations were staffed entirely by women, two by persons with disabilities, and five were designated as model centres. A brief scuffle outside Panchshil School’s booth was quickly contained by police, and voting continued without further incident.
