120 vulnerable booths identified; 91 to be brought under webcasting
Three special control rooms will be opened in the district to monitor live feeds from web cameras covering hyper-sensitive polling booths. Of the 120 such booths, 91 will be brought under webcasting as part of the improved surveillance measures recommended by the State Election Commission.
The control rooms will be set up at the collectorate and the offices of the District Police Chiefs (Kozhikode Rural and Kozhikode City). The IT Mission District Project Manager will be the nodal officer for the surveillance initiative, which will be implemented with technical support from Keltron. The visuals will be handed over to the Election Commission.
