PASIGHAT, Dec 19: The East Siang District Administration carried out a comprehensive dry run today, putting final preparations to the test for the smooth counting of votes for the upcoming Panchayati Raj and Pasighat Municipal Councillors elections.
The full-scale rehearsal, held at the IGJ School auditorium, served as real-time training for counting supervisors and assistants. Master trainers Dr. Ashok KR Thakur, PGT, Dr. Romeo Dupak, and Kasep Tayom, ADES, led the exercise, meticulously simulating every step of the counting process.
