Imphal, December 03 2016:
For the first time, the Election Commission of India (ECI) conducted an assessment test of the Government employees who have been assigned duties of Returning Officer (RO) and Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) for the forthcoming State Assembly election.
The assessment test was conducted by a four-member team of ECI at the State Academy of Training today and yesterday.
Government officers who do not clear the assessment test would be given a second chance.
However, if any of them still could not clear the second test, they would not be assigned the duty of RO or ARO, informed a source.
The ECI would give certificates to all those officers who clear the test.
On the other hand, State CEO VK Dewangan has been participating in the conference of CEOs being held at New Delhi under the aegis of the ECI.
The source further informed that the State's election notification may be issued by December 15 .
Meanwhile the State Government has already asked the Central Government to provide 500 companies of Central paramilitary forces for holding the State Assembly election in a single phase.
