Around 10 engineers drafted by BEL conducted checking of the EVMs at the Old Collectorate in the presence of representatives of the BJP and Congress parties.
At the end of day one of the exercise, around 90 EVMs are believed to have been checked by the engineers. The entire exercise of checking the EVMs is expected to be completed by August 31.
