The Gram Panchayat and MPTC / ZPTC election management plan in Prakasam district has been set up in a phased manner and police personnel, officers and para-police were deployed at the polling stations to ensure that no untoward incidents took place and to enable the voters to exercise their right to vote freely in the elections.
The SP said the Prakasam police had displayed their humanity and service to the elderly, the disabled and the sick who came to vote, while performing their election duties efficiently on the other hand.
