20,000 litres of liquor seized in Gurgaon since Model Code of Conduct came into effect

Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer Nishant Kumar Yadav said five flying squad teams are working in each Assembly area to ensure that the election process remains legal.

Voting in the district will be held on May 25 during the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024. Union minister and sitting MP Rao Inderjit Singh of the BJP is up against Raj Babbar of the Congress in Gurgaon, one of the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana.

Deputy Excise and Taxation Commissioner Amit Bhatia said that the district administration is fully vigilant in view of the Lok Sabha elections. Various flying squad teams and the police administration are conducting checks at checkpoints on the roads leading in and out of the city and district to seize cash, illegal liquor, and other items.

Deputy Commissioner Yadav said action would be taken if anyone carried more than Rs 50,000 in cash. He advised that if you are carrying a large amount of cash, make sure to have a transaction slip from the bank; otherwise, the cash may be confiscated. Similarly, people carrying expensive gifts, gold, silver, or other valuable items should be aware of their details.

Meanwhile, booth level officers are distributing voter slips and invitation letters door-to-door to encourage voting in the elections. Decorated invitation cards have been prepared to attract voters. The card includes a message: “Sending an invitation to remind you, dear voter, don’t forget to come and vote on the 25th.” Inspired by wedding card designs, the card says, “You are cordially invited to vote in our Lok Sabha elections.”

On the back of the invitation card, the complete voting process is outlined in five steps.
