Off site EPIC photography extended till Sunday, the 15th March to ensure 100 %

Photography of electors from 16th Feb to 10th Mar 2009 has been extended up to Sunday, the 15th March 2009 with permission of CEO in Nadia so that all electors can be photographed.

So far we could prepare EPICs of 1.05 lakhs of residual 1.33 lakhs electors and only 27000 electors are yet to be photographed. AC wise performance can be accessed at https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=prIL-5G5Kg93fxdj-hXTETw&hl=en#.

It is seen that Non EPIC electors in 81 and 83 Assembly segments is more than 2 %, while it is only less than one percent in other ACs. There are some parts where number of non epic electors is 25 and more. To capture the photographs of these electors, off site camps at booths, GPs must be organised with wide publicity from 12th March 2009 to 15th March 2009.

Meanwhile, the agencies at PEC centres must deliver prepared EPICs to BDOs/ SDOs for distribution by 20th March 2009. EPIC distribution programme must be shared with political parties, media and BLOs/ BLAs. Wide publicity through cable TV, miking etc should be done so that 100 % EPICs are distributed within 31st March 2009. EPICs can be distributed from blocks/ Booths following the procedures.

EROs must monitor the progress on daily basis.
