New Delhi, October 4
The model code of conduct (MCC) has come into force with immediate effect with the announcement of polling dates for the Delhi Assembly elections by the Election Commission of India, said Chief Election Officer (CEO) Vijay Dev today.

“We will ensure serious enforcement of MCC during the entire electoral process. Strict instructions have been issued to parties in power and the government to adhere to the conduct,” said the Chief Election Officer.

In pursuant of the Supreme

Court orders, the Delhi election office has decided to include the option of ‘None of the Above’ in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). “We want people to make full use of this provision as it empowers them to vote even if they don’t like the candidates,” Dev said.

To keep an eye on all the parties, the election office has deputed three flying squads at each district who will closely monitor the activities and movements of the candidates. A general observer and an expenditure observer have been assigned in every constituency for supervising the model code.

New Delhi, October 4
An 18-year-old girl who went missing under mysterious circumstances from southeast Delhi's Chittaranjan Park, allegedly committed suicide in Haryana's Faridabad district, police said today.

The girl has been identified by the police as Judith Aino Enhas. She came from Dusseldorf in Germany. Investigators said that she jumped in front of a speeding train at Faridabad on Wednesday, the day she went missing. Delhi Police were informed about the incident by their Haryana counterparts on Thursday night.

Judith was staying with two friends, Sven Przywarra and Malte Post, at a rented house in Chittaranjan Park. She was last seen around 11 am on Wednesday when Sven and Malte left the house to reach central Delhi's Rajghat in order to witness Gandhi Jayanti celebrations. Judith was not at home when they returned at around 5 pm.

Her phone was switched off and not reachable at about 6 pm. The police analysed her mobile phone's call data records. "Her last known location was Faridabad," said a police officer.

CPI protests price rise
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, October 4
The Communist Party of India (CPI) activists led by top party leaders S Sudhakar Reddy, A B Bardhan and D Raja today courted arrest to protest against price rise, inflation, unemployment and acquisition of tribal land.

CPI Delhi unit secretary Dhirendera Sharma, Mahila Federation secretary Rachpal Kaur and JNU professor S N Malakar were also among those who offered arrests and said that as the UPA government could not contain the unprecedented rise in prices of food, vegetable and food items, it had no moral right to remain in power at the centre.

The CPI leaders and activists were detained at the Parliament police station in the afternoon and later released.
