It’s post-election peace time at Nirvachan Sadan in Delhi after the Election Commission (EC) wrapped up Assembly elections in Maharashtra and Haryana. However, on Wednesday, the building was abuzz once again with activity. This time, cameramen and staff from a leading documentary channel were spotted in the corridors, shooting interviews and capturing stock footage of the building. At the Commission’s behest, the channel is producing a documentary on how the poll panel conducted the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, it is learnt.
Name Must
Delhi Police headquarters has issued an order, making it mandatory to mention the name and designation of the officer approving all official communications instead of the convention of attributing to the “competent authority”. The order stated that all communications, internal as well as external, must carry the name and designation of the officer who grants the approval.
