Sikkim: SDF member stands guard at strong room post elections, ensures electoral integrity

In Sikkim, Dorjee Gyalsen , a member of the Sikkim Democratic Party (SDF) stands as a vigilant guardian at the strong room ensuring the integrity of the electoral process. 

The strong rooms currently hosts electronic voting machines (EVMs) allocated for seven constituencies. Located within the premises of the Education Department's District Institute of Education and Training center, it stands as a bastion of electoral sanctity amidst the democratic flurry.

Gyalsen elaborates on the security measures undertaken stating a rigorous three-shift system. From 8 am to 2 pm, a vigilant pair oversees the premises, followed by another shift from 2 pm to 8 pm, and concluding with a night watch from 8 pm to 8 am. This continuous surveillance supported by the presence of central forces and Sikkim state police ensures a shield against any untoward incidents.

"This arrangement exemplifies our dedication to upholding the sanctity of the electoral process," asserts Gyalsen

Gyalsen observes a notable absence of other party members contributing to the guarding duties. "As of now, only SDF members are present," he remarks.
