NUAPADA TO VOTE TODAY
Orissa POST
|November 11, 2025
Amid tight security arrangements in Nuapada district, over 2.53 lakh voters are set to cast their votes in the Assembly bypoll Tuesday to decide the fate of 14 candidates.
The bypoll was necessitated following the death of sitting BJD MLA Rajendra Dholakia September 8.
Keeping in view the political sensitivity of the constituency and Maoist presence, particularly in Sunabeda wildlife sanctuary area, the Election Commission has deployed 14 companies of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) to ensure smooth voting, Nuapada SP Amritpal Singh said.
Apart from the central forces, 35 mobile patrolling parties and seven quick response teams (QRTs) have been stationed to address any irregularities, Singh added.
Erick Gilbert Jose, a commandant of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Nuapada, said, "We are well prepared for peaceful voting Tuesday. IAF helicopters have dropped polling officials and jawans in Naxal-hit areas. We have already dominated the LWE-hit areas and ensured that no Naxals could reach polling stations."
