Pherzawl: To ensure that polling parties for far-flung areas reached their designated polling stations well ahead of poll day for the upcoming second phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2024, District Election Office, Pherzawl dispatched the first batch of polling teams from the Dispersal Centre at Peace Ground, Tuibong on Tuesday.
Polling teams deputed for 16 remote polling stations under 55-Tipaimukh assembly constituency including Chingmun, Doltang and Suangphumun amongst others were airlifted along with EVMs in an IAF chopper from the helipad of 36 AR.
It is worthwhile to mention that all these polling stations are located more than 260 kms away from the Dispersal Centre and shared poor road connectivity. In addition, polling teams for Upper Kharkhuplien, Lungthulien, Kangreng and 12 other distant polling stations also proceeded towards their respective destinations by road today.
Earlier, Strong Room located at the DC Office complex was opened and EVMs shifted to the dispersal centre for distribution to polling teams. The whole process was carried out in the presence of District Election Officials and political party representatives.
Polling teams for 56-Thanlon and the remaining teams for 55-Tipaimukh will be dispatched by road tomorrow. DEO Pherzawl Asish Das, Addl DEO and Nodal Officers oversaw the day’s entire activities.
