The counting of votes in 11 Assembly constituencies and one lok Sabha seat that went to poll on Saturday would begin amidst tight security from 8 am on Tuesday.
To make the counting more transparent, the poll staff to be deployed at each counting table will be selected randomly and that too on Tuesday morning.
Each counting table will be manned by a micro-observer and adequate security force will be deployed to ensure that no hurdles are created by agents of candidates, irrespective of the party to which they belong.
