HYDERABAD: As India waits with bated breath to know the folk’s mandate in Telangana, it’s the central paramilitary forces, who are guarding EVMs around the state amid a three-tier security construction with CCTVs in position. The destiny of contestants is sealed in these machines in 48 locations and will probably be opened on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in a vital late-night choice on Saturday, the Election Commission permitted the Congress and its allies to deploy vigilance groups at EVM strong rooms.
Responding to an pressing illustration made by means of TPCC treasurer, Gudur Narayana Reddy, fearing tampering and substitute of polled-EVMs, the Election Commission of India permitted the Congress-led People’s Front to depute vigilance groups at strong rooms the place EVMs are kept.
In his illustration, Gudur Narayana, said, “Many of our People’s Front leaders have expressed apprehension that the spare EVMs could also be tampered with, and votes could be solid in favour of TRS. EVMs could also be replaced anywhere they really feel that the People’s Front is ahead within the fray. In view of the above explanation why, kindly allow us to deploy our cadre to stay a vigil at the strong rooms the place EVMs are kept.”
In reaction, chief electoral officer, Rajat Kumar instructed Gudur Narayana over the telephone that the contesting applicants may just deploy their groups at strong rooms. Subsequently, TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy spoke to all the applicants of People’s Front asking them to deploy dedicated groups at strong rooms until the counting day on December 11.
At the strong rooms, the primary layer is the inner security ring that is fortified by means of central paramilitary forces and final two layers are guarded by means of state police.
At least 25 firms of paramilitary power comprising 90 policemen every had been deployed at these key locations. On Saturday, no person was allowed any place close to the premises of counting stations. On counting day, EVMs will probably be opened in front accepted representatives of political events.
All doors and ventilators at every location are shut and the lone door, which accesses the hall has been sealed with armed workforce at the front.
Speaking to TOI, additional director-general of police (law and order) Jitender said, “Arrangements had been accomplished in response to Election Commission of India guidelines. Surveillance and continuous supervision are key to security,’’ instructed TOI.

Counting for Chandrayangutta constituency will take place at Nizam College.
