EC to discuss tomorrow preparations for Delhi polls

NEW DELHI:
In the run up to the Delhi Assembly election expected to be held in mid-February, a meeting of the ‘full’ Election Commission will be held tomorrow to discuss the preparations for the electoral exercise.
“Yes, the full Commission is meeting tomorrow as it meets on every Tuesday and Friday. Of course, the EC will take stock of the preparations related to the Delhi Assembly election and issues related to electoral rolls,” a senior functionary of the poll body said.
He termed the meeting as a “usual” exercise held twice a week.
The announcement for the one-day election to the 70-member Assembly is likely to be made this week.
The schedule for the election, sources said, will be fine- tuned to ensure that it is completed in the second week of February or at best the third week and does not come in the way of annual examinations, including those conducted by the CBSE which will commence on March 2. (AGENCIES)
