SSTs to be on round the clock duty from Saturday


Gandhinagar, 25 April 2014

Static Surveillance Teams(SSTs) that check vehicles on highways and other strategic locations in poll season will be on round the clock surveillance duty from Saturday, April 26th. Presently the SST teams are on duty only during 8.00 am – 4.00 pm. At present five SSTs are put on road in every assembly seat.

When EC team finds some political worker/candidate/leader possessing more than Rs. 50,000 in cash or a gift worth Rs. 10,000 or more, and if there’s doubt that it is something poll related then the election commission proceeds against them.
