The entire election process will be monitored real time from the Command Control Centre established by the district machinery at the Nellore Municipal Corporation oce. District Election Ocer (DEO) M. Hari Narayanan monitored the arrangements at various polling stations through webcasting on Sunday, when he alerted various teams to address the complaints and grievances received through the c-Vigil app and 1950 call centre.
Flying squads and statistical survey teams were ordered to constantly monitor the complaints, while media certi¥cation teams were also told to crack the whip on anyone still campaigning on social media and electronic media platforms.
