The Forecast 2 weeks ago Tamil Nadu
More than 4,200 monitoring teams have been deployed across Tamil Nadu to track suspicious movement of cash and goods ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections scheduled for April 23.
According to Archana Patnaik, the Chief Electoral Officer of the State, a total of 2,106 flying squads and an equal number of static surveillance teams are working in different districts. The monitoring began after the Model Code of Conduct came into effect following the election announcement by the Election Commission of India.
Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat in Chennai, Patnaik said officials are also keeping a close watch on digital transactions to prevent illegal movement of money during the election period. She added that coordination meetings have been held with 23 enforcement agencies to strengthen monitoring.
Since the Model Code of Conduct came into force on March 15, officials have already seized unaccounted cash and goods worth ₹1.26 crore.
Election authorities say the strict surveillance measures are aimed at ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process across the State.
