AAA Nearly 400 volunteers who recently joined the State’s Student Police Cadet Volunteer Corps (SVC) will serve as special police officers to facilitate the smooth conduct of the local body elections in Kozhikode district on Monday. The team comprising both students and a few professionals will work together with the local police and election officials at assigned booths.
It is for the first time that the alumni of the prestigious Student Police Cadet (SPC) project, launched in 2008, have come together for a new task. Though there are about 6,000 such cadets under the SVC in Kozhikode, only a limited number of volunteers has been shortlisted for election duty, considering the COVID-19 situation. Of this, nearly 100 volunteers are women, who will be posted at booths near their places of residence.
