KATHUA, OCTOBER 04: In a demonstration of best electoral practices, the District Election Office Kathua has implemented robust measures to ensure transparency and accountability in the post-poll process for all six Assembly segments in the district. The Government Degree College (Boys) Kathua, designated as the Counting Centre, is now a model of transparency with the provision of live CCTV surveillance monitoring all strong rooms where Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are securely stored following the polling on October 1st.
To further uphold these standards, the District Election Office has set up a dedicated, 24/7 Control Room inside the college. This facility, accessible to election agents and authorized representatives of contesting candidates, provides live feeds from the CCTV cameras installed in the strong rooms.
In addition to real-time monitoring, election agents and candidates are permitted regular visits to the strong rooms, ensuring concerns are addressed promptly and minimizing any apprehensions.
For the convenience of those involved, the Control Room has been equipped with necessary amenities, including fans, drinking water, and Wi-Fi. Duty magistrates are present round-the-clock to ensure that all protocols are strictly followed and to resolve any issues immediately, thereby reinforcing the integrity of the electoral process.
