The Central Government and the Election Commission have started big preparations for security arrangements to conduct the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar peacefully and fairly. Officials said that about 350 to 400 company Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) and police units of other states will be deployed in the state.

According to the information, there are about 70 to 80 personnel in a CAPF company. Accordingly, thousands of security personnel will be deployed in Bihar, who will perform their duties in various districts and sensitive areas to maintain law and order during elections. Officials said that these forces will also include units, which protect international borders in normal times.

Election dates can be announced in October

According to Election Commission sources, the announcements of Bihar assembly elections are likely to be announced in early October. As soon as the election schedule is finalized, the process of sending companies of central forces to Bihar will be expedited. From now on, orders have been ordered to prepare and deploy the concerned units.

A total of 243 seats are to be held

A total of 243 seats of Bihar Legislative Assembly are to be held. The Commission believes that the local police force of the state will not be sufficient alone during such a large scale. In such a situation, the presence of Central Armed Police Forces will assure security in polling stations and sensitive areas.

A large number of paramilitary forces will be deployed

Experts say that there is always a possibility of electoral violence and disturbances in a big and politically sensitive state like Bihar. In view of this, the Election Commission deploys a large number of paramilitary forces every time. This time also the priority of the Commission is that voters can vote without any fear and pressure.

Police main work security of polling stations

Officials said that central forces will be given responsibility not only on polling day but also during the process of election campaign, nomination and counting. Their main tasks will be the safety of polling stations, crowd control and any emergency.

Overall, this time also adequate security arrangements are being made for Bihar elections. The Election Commission and security agencies together are trying to ensure that this mahaparva of democracy is done with full peace and transparency.
