Jamshedpur, Aug. 23: Even as electioneering for the Jamshedpur Lok Sabha by-election has picked up, the government is making all arrangements for free, fair and peaceful elections.

Chief secretary P.P. Sharma, home secretary Sudhir Tripathy and DGP V.D. Ram arrived here this morning and held a high level meeting with the district top brass, including deputy commissioner Nitin Madan Kulkarni, at the Circuit House to review the poll arrangements.

Expressing satisfaction over the poll arrangements, officials said sufficient number of paramilitary forces has been deployed. As many as 40 companies of paramilitary forces and 17 companies of Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) have been pressed into service for the polling. There are about 4,000 police personnel from the district police.

“There will be Quick Reacting Teams (QRT) at five places for emergencies,” said Kulkarni. He said as many as 675 booths have been declared sensitive while 85 supersensitive, which are mostly located in the Naxalite affected areas.

The administration has decided to seal the border from August 27 to 29. It has banned movement of heavy vehicles on the NH-33 from August 27 so that the movement of polling staff and security personnel is smooth.
