Guwahati, 3rd June: With the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 results looming, the Kokrajhar district administration has undertaken comprehensive measures to facilitate a peaceful and orderly vote counting process scheduled for June 4.
Returning Officer Pradeep Kumar Dwivedi has reaffirmed the meticulous arrangements put in place to ensure the smooth functioning of the counting process at the five designated centers spread across the region. These centers, strategically located in Gossaigaon, Kokrajhar, Kajalgaon, Bijni, and Mashalpur in Baksa, will oversee the counting for the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha constituency, spanning three districts – Kokrajhar, Chirang, and Baksa.
A dedicated workforce comprising 27 Assistant Returning Officers and approximately 750 counting personnel has been diligently deployed to oversee the intricate counting procedures.
