Furthermore, he urged citizens to stay alert and report any violations or suspicious activity by calling Dial 100 or 112. In addition, he said police teams will keep a close watch on rowdy sheeters and history sheeters to maintain public order throughout the campaign period.
Meanwhile, District Election Returning Officer R. V. Karnan confirmed that all arrangements for polling on 11 November are complete. He said Jubilee Hills constituency has 3,92,669 registered voters, and officials are coordinating closely with the Election Commission to ensure smooth polling.
Karnan warned that strict cases will be filed against any political party or individual violating the MCC. Moreover, he reminded new voters that they still have 10 days to register their names.
He added that political posters and banners will be removed from all public areas before polling day.
