To facilitate the successful conduct of the urban local body election in Dehradun, the first randomisation of 5,888 personnel was completed on Tuesday, with the presence of district magistrate Savin Bansal.
Bansal informed that a total of 5,888 personnel, including reserve personnel, were randomised for a total of 1,071 booths across two municipal corporations, four municipal councils and one Nagar Panchayat in the district. This includes 20 pink booths under the Municipal Corporation Dehradun (MCD) and five for Municipal Corporation of Rishikesh (MCR).
He further directed the officers to promptly provide the information of the personnel appointed for the election to the relevant department heads. This is to ensure that personnel are relieved from their current duties in time for necessary election duty training, he said.
