Bhajantri debarred from election-related work
The outgoing DC, Manjunath Bhajantri, has been debarred from performing any election-related work by the Election Commission. As a result of the restrictions, the spadework for ensuing elections was being affected.
Given the impending situation arising out of the restrictions imposed by the Election Commission on Bhajantri, Deputy Development Commissioner Manish Kumar was doing all the works necessary related to preparations for the elections.
