Kishtwar,26-12-2023
Under the overall Supervision of District Election Officer Kishtwar Dr Devansh Yadav IAS today, Chief Education Officer (CEO) Kishtwar Prahlad Bhagat led a series of comprehensive review meetings at Nagseni and Paddar Blocks, engaging with Booth Level Officers (BLOs) from Nagseni Paddar Constituency.
The objective was to meticulously review and ensure the provision of Assured Minimum Facilities (AMFs) at the polling centres.
These AMFs encompass a range of crucial amenities, including ramps with specific inclination ratios (1:12), gender-segregated toilets equipped with sanitation facilities, transport facilities tailored for Persons with Disabilities (PwD voters), access to clean drinking water, adequate furniture, medical kits, proper lighting/electricity arrangements, and prominently displayed Signage for clear voter guidance regarding the polling centre's layout and route.
In addition, the directives provided during these meetings emphasized the need for volunteers dedicated to assisting PwD individuals, women, and senior citizens. The arrangements for efficient queue management, featuring distinct rows for men, women, senior citizens, and PwD voters, were highlighted. Furthermore, the display of Voter Facilitation Posters at each polling station was underscored as a critical aspect of the initiative.
The BLOs were given a series of specific directions to ensure the seamless availability and readiness of these essential facilities at all designated polling centres.
Mr. Prahlad Bhagat, during these sessions, emphasized the paramount importance of guaranteeing these facilities to facilitate and enhance the voting experience for all individuals, promoting inclusivity and accessibility during the electoral process.
