“We have mobilised sufficient armed personnel to provide security before, during and after the election,” the police commissioner said.
” I am giving 100 percent assurance to all law-abiding residents of state, that they can go about freely to exercise their franchise on Feb. 25 without threat to lives and property,” he added.
