Cops identify around 2,000 polling booths in Capital as 'critical'
Millennium Post Delhi|April 11, 2024
Of the 13,500 polling booths in Delhi, police have so far identified around 2,000 as "critical" based on past cases as well as the probability of deterioration of the lawand-order situation and extra security personnel would be deployed there, officials said on Wednesday.

As many as 1.47 crore people are eligible to exercise their franchise at the seven Lok Sabha constituencies of the city where polling will be held on May 25.

Ahead of every election, police prepare a list of polling booths marked as "critical" based on multiple parameters.

The Election Commission then takes a final call on the list.

In total, the city has around 13,500 polling booths which will be probably located at around 2,700 locations across Delhi.
