Polling station staffed by persons with disabilities
The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer, P Krishnamurthy, announced that over one lakh polling personnel have been deployed for the polls on May 25. Several measures have been taken to protect people from the intense heat wave.
To enhance the voting experience, 70 pink polling stations have been set up across Delhi, with one in each assembly constituency. These stations will be entirely operated by women polling staff.
Additionally, 70 model polling stations will feature enhanced facilities. For the first time, each parliamentary constituency will have a polling station fully staffed by persons with disabilities (PwD).
"We have meticulously planned and executed all aspects of election management, including manpower, logistics and transport management," he said.
He emphasised that, based on the directives of the Election Commission and the IMD forecast of an intense heat wave, comprehensive measures have been implemented to address the expected high temperatures of 44 to 45 degrees Celsius.
