Gangwar also noted that a total of 3,200 officials are to be trained. “There are two batches of officials being trained in two shifts. Each shift has around 1,600 officials.

We had previously issued warning to the officials that attendance is a must because, during these training, officials will learn several strategies to mitigate issues that may arise on the day of polling,” Gangwar noted.

Additionally, the officials were made aware of the operating of EVMs and VVPATs. They were also informed about the procedure to be carried in case the EVMs appear to be damaged.
