Senior district and police officials descended at the government multipurpose school complex at Borda to chalk out the security and traffic arrangements at the centre on the day of counting, on March 11.
South Goa district collector Swapnil Naik, who is also the district electoral officer, along with Additional Collector Johnson Fernandes, DySPs Dinraj Govekar and Prabodh Shirwaikar (Traffic) along with PWD and other officials inspected the entire complex ahead of the counting of ballots.
The Collector later told The Goan that the meeting took into account the security and traffic requirements on the day of counting at the Borda centre. “We have taken into account the need to close down certain roads on the day of counting as part of traffic management. The main Borda road will be closed for traffic between Eurico Silva house and Bolshe junction. Only residents staying along the road will be allowed to ply," he said.
He said the entire multipurpose ground will be utilized for parking of official vehicles, while candidates coming to the centre will have to alight on the main road before entering the premises. “The candidates and their counting agents will be allowed entry inside the centre only after the announcement made by the election officials," Swapnil added.
