'Why action should not be taken against UPSEC': Allahabad HC on violation of Covid SOPs during panchayat polls
The Allahabad High Court has come down heavily on the State Election Commission over violation of Covid protocols during the ongoing panchayat polls in the state. As many as 135 teachers, shiksha mitras and investigators assigned on panchayat election duty, have lost their lives.
The HC issued notices to UP State Election Commission (UPSEC) and sought an explanation on why it failed to check non-compliance of Covid guidelines, LiveLaw reported. A division bench of Justices Siddhartha Verma and Ajir Kumar also asked why action should not be taken against the commission and its officials.
