Meghalaya border to be sealed till declaration of election result on March 2

To ensure free and fair assembly elections in Meghalaya, the Election Commission has ordered the sealing of the India-Bangladesh border in the state till March 2, state election officer F R Kharkongor said on Friday.

The poll panel also ordered the sealing of the inter-state border with Assam by March 2, he said

Elections for the 60-member council district will be held on February 27 and counting of votes will take place on March 2. "All the districts that have an international border with Bangladesh have been asked to issue sealing orders and movement of people in the border areas would be restricted," Kharkongor said in a report.

The functioning of the "boundaries" has also been delayed until the electoral process is over. "If unregulated movement of individuals between the two countries is allowed, there is a likelihood of law and order problems that will lead to endangerment of human life and disruption of public peace," the director general said.
