Avoid public nuisance during nominations, Gurugram DC warns candidates
As the majority of candidates would begin filing nomination papers in Gurugram tomorrow, Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Election Officer Nishant Yadav has issued a stern warning to all candidates to avoid causing any public nuisance.
Yadav emphasised that candidates must not only adhere to the rules around the secretariat but also avoid any traffic violations, chaos, littering, or noise pollution during the nomination process. Notably, only three vehicles per candidate are allowed within 100 m of the nomination centre, which will be the mini-secretariat, and only five people, including the candidate, will be permitted inside the nomination office. Yadav also urged candidates to be mindful of public convenience when arriving at or departing from the nominations.
‘Don’t cause traffic jams’
No nomination procession or celebration should cause harassment to the general public. We have warned candidates to ensure they do not cause any traffic jams, traffic violations or public nuisances. There should be no littering of pamphlets, defacement or noise pollution. — Nishant Yadav, District Election Officer
“No nomination procession or celebration should cause harassment to the general public. We have warned candidates to ensure they do not cause any traffic jams, traffic violations, or public nuisances. There should be no littering of pamphlets, defacement, or noise pollution. Any violations will be the candidate’s responsibility,” Yadav stated.
He also sent a letter to the Gurugram Traffic Police, instructing them to ensure there are no traffic rule violations and take appropriate action against any offenders.
“The candidates and their vehicles must follow traffic norms. This includes not hanging out of cars, wearing helmets, having proper number plates and obeying red lights. Take the necessary actions to ensure compliance and issue challans,” the DC directed the police.
BJP candidates from Badshahpur Rao Narbir Singh and from Gurugram Mukesh Sharma are scheduled to file their nominations on September 10.
Videos of celebrations for BJP candidate Mukesh Sharma’s ticket have gone viral on social media, highlighting rampant traffic violations on National Highway 8. Numerous complaints were filed, and videos were shared by local residents, questioning how politicians went unpunished while they were fined at the drop of a hat.
