PRAYAGRAJ: Taking note of the reported deaths of 135 teachers, shiksha mitras and investigators assigned panchayat election duty, the Allahabad HC on Tuesday issued notices to the Uttar Pradesh State Election Commission (UPSEC) and asked why it failed to check non-compliance of Covid guidelines during multiple phases of panchayat elections.
The court further asked why action should not be taken against it and its officials.
A division bench of Justices Siddhartha Varma and Ajit Kumar further directed UPSEC to “take immediately measures in the remaining phases of panchayat elections to ensure Covid guidelines are complied with, else action would be taken against officials involved in the election process”.
