CCTV installed in Dhubri District Library after 20 days delay


Dhubri District Administration had set up closed-circuit television (CCTV) in the District Library on April 24, which is being used as strong room for the EVMs of Dhubri, Gauripur and Golakganj Assembly Constituencies. It is mentionable here that those EVMs were put in that strong room on April 11. The candidates from different political parties, except Congress, have shown their displeasure over the matter. Those cameras should been in place from that very date when the those EVMs were brought there, they complained. But according to the Deputy Commissioner of Dhubri, administration had received the order to use close circuit cameras just one day before i.e. on April 23.
