“No mobile will be allowed except the observers. We have supplied sufficient security forces across the state. After result declarations also, there will be security arrangements in some areas. The counting will start at 8 am and the EVM counting will start at 8.30 am. There will be around 5 rounds of counting and in some areas there can be 6 to 7 rounds of counting. So by 12 O’Clock the picture will be quite clear”, said CEO.

CEO Kiren Gitte on Tuesday appealed to people to maintain the peace after the poll results.  “Tripura has a reputation for its excellency in various sectors. From cultural sides to polls, Tripura’s name has always been taken with pride”, said CEO.  “Before the poll and after the poll, peace has been maintained as much as possible and we have campaigned for that. Tomorrow, whatever the result comes out, peace has to be maintained”, said CEO.  However, CEO’s message failed to address the violence and attacks that have happened in the last 48 hours across the state.  Tripura poll results will be declared on March 2nd.
