    Maharashtra: Citizens lodge 400 poll code violation complaints via app
  • The Maharashtra chief electoral office has received up to 400 complaints of violation of the model code of conduct through its app cVIGIL, an official said today.

    The Election Commission, in July last year, launched the Android-based mobile application, using which a person can secretly send to it geo-tagged videos and photos of illegal-money being distributed or a hate speech being made during polls.

    The model code of conduct for next month's Lok Sabha polls came into effect on March 10 and most of the complaints were received by the state election office after that, the official said.

    "Around 400 complaints have been received through cVIGIL across Maharashtra," he said.

    He said the maximum number of 85 complaints were received from Pune, followed by Thane-61, Solapur-44, Mumbai suburban-40, Mumbai city-39, and Nagpur-26.

  • Most of the complaints were pertaining to banners put up without permission, said the official.

    "There are no complaints so far of comments inciting violence or casteist remarks as hardly any public-rallies have been held in the state," he said.

    LS elections in Maharashtra will be held in four phases, April 11, 18, 23 and 29, while results will be declared on May 23.
