240 platoons of police force have been deployed for today’s elections. In addition, 1753 mobile patrolling parties will stay alert and monitor the situation.
As the first phase poll was marred by violence incidents, the State Election Commission as well as Odisha DGP have toughened their stand and decided to take stringent action against the hooligans who disturb the polling process.
Political blame game has intensified between BJD and BJP. The ruling party is accused of distributing frebies and threatening candidates and their supporters while the BJD has put the blame on BJP saying the saffron party is trying to disturb the peace and harmony in the state.
Meanwhile, 36 people including 16 from Puri have been arrested for the poll violence during the first phase polling.
