Govt writes to EC

“We have already written to the Election Commission and it is a normal process. We hope the EC will accept it,” chief minister Conrad K Sangma told reporters on Tuesday.

He said the request is made relating to certain ongoing schemes and projects that require immediate work to be done adding these are routine projects that have already been sanctioned and just the procedural aspect is left.

It may be mentioned here that the model code of conduct will remain in force till election results are declared on May 23.

Elections to the two parliamentary seats of Shillong and Tura were held on April 11, along with the bye election to the Selsella Assembly seat.
