EC cracks down on polling agents

May 12, 2014 09:28

Vicky Nanjappa @ Varanasi: The ‎‎‎Election Commission really seems to be cracking the whip in the last phase of polling.

The poll body has cracked down on poll agents across all polling booths in Varanasi.

Polling agents, in a desperate bid to promote their candidate, were seen very close to booths beyond the permissible limits.

The EC flying squad has warned all workers to stay outside the polling booths, failing which strict action will be taken.
