Kullu Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer Torul S Raveesh today inspected the strongroom established at Government Senior Secondary School, Manali, and took stock of the necessary preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. She instructed the Manali Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) to complete all preparations related to the elections on time and inspect the polling stations and various facilities provided on the day of polling.

Manali SDM and ARO Raman Sharma informed the District Election Officer that all preparations have been made in Manali Assembly constituency for the Lok Sabha elections and the polling centres were also being inspected by him. He added that the model code of conduct was being strictly followed and the systematic voter education and electoral participation (SVEEP) activities were being conducted through various social service organisations and educational institutions for voters’ awareness to increase the voting percentage as compared to the previous elections.
