Addressing the participants, DC-cum-District Election Officer Bekir Nyorak underscored the gravity and sanctity of the electoral process, urging all officials to approach their duties with utmost diligence, integrity and professionalism.

He cautioned participants against seeking exemptions except in cases of genuine medical necessity, reiterating that disciplined preparation is central to the seamless conduct of polling duties.
The training session featured detailed, hands-on demonstrations led by master trainers Dilip Linggi, Raju Pulu, and Kabang Lego, who oriented 81 officials on critical aspects of election management. The modules included step-by-step polling procedures, proper handling and safeguarding of polling materials, meticulous documentation practices, and the correct operation and sealing protocols of the Ballot Box.
The session aimed not only at enhancing technical proficiency but also at instilling confidence among polling personnel, thereby ensuring that Dibang Valley is fully equipped for the forthcoming electoral responsibilities. (DIPRO)
