Warangal: A three-tier security cover is in place for the counting of Warangal (SC) Parliament constituency, the returning officer (RO) and Urban district collector Prashanth Jeevan Patil said. The RO, who inspected arrangements at the Enumamula Agriculture Market Yard here on Tuesday, told the assistant ROs of seven Assembly segments of Warangal Lok Sabha seat to follow the guidelines of the Election Commission (EC) in the counting process.
"Election Observer and all the candidates and their election agents will be present when the officials move electronic voting machines (EVMs) from the strong rooms to counting area. The entire process would be videographed," Patil said. Every counting centre will have 14 tables. Round-wise updates would be uploaded to EC's Suvidha portal, he said. No polling official is allowed to carry mobile phone to the counting arena, he added.
Patil said that the round-wise polling information would be announced through public address system, besides making it available through media centre. Assistant returning officers K Venka Reddy, N Ravikiran, Ch Mahenderji, Ramesh, Venkatachary and Malathi, NIC DIO Vijay Kumar, e-District manager Sridhar, DRDO Ramu and Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations (I&PR) Yasa Venkateshwarlu were among others present.
