Ahead of the polls, area domination exercises, mobile patrolling and intensified vehicle checking at nakas, including inter-district and border points, will be carried out to ensure peaceful elections. Preventive action is being taken against elements likely to disturb public peace, along with enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct and strict checks on illegal arms, narcotics, liquor and unaccounted cash.
