High alert for third leg of rural polls by Amit Gupta

Heavy security bandobast is in place for the third phase of panchayat elections which will take place tomorrow in 61 blocks of 20 districts, with many of the areas considered rebel strongholds. This phase covers as many as 999 panchayats where 40,471 candidates are in the fray for 12,011 posts of gram panchayat members, mukhiyas, panchayat samiti members and zilla parishad members. The electorate strength is over 32.58 lakh. “Polling parties have already been dispatched to the 9,914 polling stations. In a few places, we have had to airdrop personnel, but we are hopeful of peaceful and fair polls tomorrow,” state election commissioner S.D. Sharma told newsmen while briefing them here today. Porahat forest in West Singhbhum, Chainpur and Raidih blocks in Gumla district, Latehar’s Manika and Barwadih blocks, Jhumra Pahad in Bokaro’s Gomia block, Kuchai block in Seraikela-Kharsawan district, Shikaripara, Kathikund and Gopikandar in Dumka district have all been identified as sensitive areas by the state police. Of the 391 booths in Gomia, 225 have been declared supersensitive while 151 have been marked sensitive. In two other blocks of Bokaro — Petarwar and Kasmar — 37 and 55 booths respectively have been identified as supersensitive. As many as 237 polling booths have been declared supersensitive in Dumka. According to the district’s superintendent of police Hemant Toppo, helicopters would be used for aerial surveillance during the polling process in the Maoist-affected areas. State police spokesperson R.K. Mallick, who is also inspector general (operations), said 710 companies of police personnel have been deputed for tomorrow’s poll. Of the 710 companies, 175 would comprise central paramilitary forces and there would be five companies of Bihar Military Police (BMP) on duty as well. The security deputation this time is about 300 companies stronger than the first phase when 426 companies were deputed for polling which took place over a much larger area spread over all 24 districts. In the second phase, over 600 companies of forces were deputed in 23 districts. Electioneering was peaceful in both phases. “So far, the rebels have not disturbed the election process, but the police are always the target of the outlawed groups. But we are all prepared this time too and hopeful of a violence-free third phase,” said Mallick. Mallick added that the third, fourth and fifth phases covered many more sensitive areas than the first two rounds. While the fourth round of polls will take place on December 20, the fifth and final leg is on December 24. For the 12,011 posts up for grabs tomorrow, 9914 posts are of gram panchayat members, 999 each of mukhiya and panchayat samiti members and 99 for zilla parishad members. There are 6,926 posts reserved for women while 5,085 posts are of open category where in both men and women will be trying their luck for the three-tier panchayati raj system. Also, among the 12,011 posts, 2,105 gram panchayat members have already been elected unopposed by virtue of single nominations in respective electoral areas. Eight mukhiyas have been elected uncontested, as have 19 panchayat samiti members. Two zilla parishad members have also been elected unopposed. Meanwhile, the State Election Commission today declared the results of polling in four districts — Koderma, Pakur, Jamtara and Ramgarh.
