In the second phase of the three-tier panchayat elections, polling parties have been dispatched to conduct voting in 272 gram panchayats across Uttarkashi district. A total of 337 polling teams have been sent out — 105 from Bhatwari, 128 from Dunda, and 104 from Chinyalisaur block.
All polling teams have reached their respective destinations. Chief Development Officer S.L. Semwal personally visited Dunda and Chinyalisaur blocks to brief polling personnel, instructing them to ensure peaceful and fair voting. Zonal magistrates, sector magistrates, and presiding officers were directed to maintain law and order and report regularly to the election control room.
Emphasis was laid on heightened vigilance at sensitive and highly sensitive booths to ensure the voting process proceeds smoothly and without dispute. Additionally, as part of an initiative to promote environmentally rich panchayats, a tree plantation drive was held at the polling site in Dunda Inter College.
SDM Devanand Sharma, Block Development Officer Dinesh Joshi, and DS Aswal were also present during the preparations.
