Churachandpur, February 27 2022:
With all preparations set afoot for the first leg of state assembly poll tomorrow, the CEO Manipur along with the DEO Churachandpur, officials from the Health Department and the Indian Air Force on Sunday conducted a mock evacuation drill at Henglep Headquarters.
During the mock-drill which involved an IAF helicopter and health workers posted in the interior areas of Churachandpur's Henglep, loading and off-loading of patients from the chopper were demonstrated.
Due to the hostile terrain and remote nature of many polling stations in Churachandpur, the Election Commission has put in place an elaborate plan to evacuate any casualties.

The plan includes air lifting of poll personnel deployed in interior areas that requires a day of travelling to reach the polling station.
Henglep and Tipaimukh ACs have the most number of such booths with some polling personnel requiring night holds on the way to reach their destination.
Walking on foot for hours or switching their mode of travel from land to water are some of the arduous tasks the polling personnel have taken to ensure all citizens of the country are involved in its democratic processes.
