1.2K model code violation reports were handled by the Haryana poll officer

According to State Chief Electoral Officer Anurag Agarwal, people are also closely monitoring any infractions of the model code of conduct using the cVigil smartphone app. People may actively watch and report code infractions with this new software, which will help to ensure fair and transparent elections.

According to Agarwal, 1,204 complaints have been made throughout the state on the app so far, and all of them have been handled within the allotted period. It was a source of pride for the people to use the app to guarantee their involvement in the system.

Giving district-specific information, he stated that the district with the highest number of complaints (317) was Sirsa district, followed by 219 from Ambala, 46 from Bhiwani, 40 from Faridabad, 37 from Fatehabad, 78 from Gurugram, 46 from Hisar, 20 from Jhajjar, 22 each from Jind and Kaithal, 16 from Karnal, 31 from Kurukshetra, three from Mahendragarh, 36 from Mewat, 32 from Palwal, 67 from Panchkula, five from Panipat, three from Rewari, 34 from Rohtak, 87 from Sonepat, and 43 from Yamunanagar.

959 of these complaints were determined to be legitimate, and appropriate action was taken.

He made a plea to the voters to help ensure that the elections are transparent and fair. He said that they might use the app to submit pictures or two-minute movies that they had taken. The GPS location and the picture or video would be uploaded together. After registering, complaints would be handled in 100 minutes or less. Teams from both static and flying surveillance have access to real-time information, enabling them to promptly respond to the site of the complaint.
