Puducherry District Collector appeals people to vote in large numbers

Puducherry District Collector Purva Garg on April 2 appealed to the people to come out in large numbers and vote in the upcoming April 6. “Prohibitory orders by ECI under Sec 144 for 48-hour period before April 6 targeted at unlawful assembly, possession of weapons, sticks and banners, sloganeering, loudspeakers' use and unlawful acts that are detrimental to peace and tranquillity,” she said. “Orders neither prohibit door-to-door campaigning nor apply to public curfew, religious functions, marriages, funerals or other polling-related activities during the 48-hour period. People must come out in large numbers to vote,” she added.
