In a review meeting held with the Returning Officers and nodal officers, she said the polling stations must have minimum facilities as per the instructions of the EC, which mainly includes tenting and 50 chairs at each polling booth, waiting area, circles at polling booths to social distancing norms. Taking a serious note of delay in distribution of voting slips at the doorstep of voters, she said, “This task must be completed till February 18.” —
