Thiruvananthapuram: The Election Commission has directed the states not to appoint officers within the limits of the same parliamentary constituency in which they were working during the Lok Sabha elections.
The commission has already instructed the states to transfer the officials who are in their own district or who have completed three years in the same place as part of the election. As a part of this, it is suggested that when shifting to an adjacent district, it should not go to a place belonging to the same parliamentary constituency.
State Chief Electoral Officer Sanjay M Kaul said that the instructions issued by the Election Commission should be strictly followed in the state also.
