In a further effort to enhance oversight, the number of surveillance teams has tripled, comprising 636 Flying Squad Teams (FSTs) and 630 Static Surveillance Teams (SSTs) actively monitoring electoral activities. The Delhi Police, along with the Income Tax, Narcotics, and Excise departments, and agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate, DRI, CGST, and RPF, have all come together for heightened vigilance.
Technology is also playing a crucial role in strengthening the electoral process. The cVIGIL App enables citizens to report election violations in real-time, while the Election Seizure Management System (ESMS) digitizes seized materials to ensure better tracking and accountability. Authorities have already recorded 2,703 FIRs, surpassing the total of 2,067 FIRs logged during the entire 2020 elections.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi has encouraged voters to resist inducements and participate in the electoral process with integrity. He has urged the public to report any violations through the cVIGIL App or the 24×7 Election Helpline. Control rooms have been established in all District Election Officers (DEOs) and the CEO’s office, with contact information widely disseminated to the public for assistance.
