PNS

Palamu police have floated a number 70704 52955 ahead of the Lok Sabha election here. 

It is to ensure free,fair and peaceful poll and to pin down any individual or source out to undermine or sabotage the electioneering by foul speech or by hatred or acrimonious message or by action smacking of communalism. 

Palamu police is determined and committed to have free, fair and peaceful lok sabha election here and no one will get away if one has indulged in any activity harmful to the electioneering or to the public tranquility. 

Stating this the SP Reeshma Ramesan said "Police control room (PCR) has this number in operation. A caller can give information about any provocative, inflammatory or obstructive idea, message or means committed or going to be done in the electioneering process."

She said any nefarious activity that comes in the way of the electioneering will be stifled with a very firm hand of law of the land. 

The identity of such a caller will be kept in all strict confidentiality. 

There is a popular perception that this lok sabha election will be on the lines of religion and NRC (national register of citizens) which are quite nerve wrecking in itself. 

The number that police have floated will help weaker section voters most who will now feel emboldened enough to exercise their fundamental right to vote with heads high. 

Barely 6 or 7 kms away from Daltonganj there is a human habitat where scheduled caste voters remain fidgety on the day of polling. 

All tricks are applied to election here. It is from free desi murga,free wine, lots of cash to intimidation and threat.

The intimidation or threat is forked. It is either vote for a particular candidate or refrain from voting. 

Intimidation and threat is applied when chicken, wine and cash fail. 

Candidates whip up religious sentiments and make hurtful speeches just to polarise their votes. 

This number if used well in time will frustrate such evil design of the sinister elements. 

The number floated will help weaker section voters not to get any bullied by any muscleman of the candidate as one call on it will deflate the bully like anything.
