Election Commission Issues Fresh Work Allocation Order After Internal Dispute
The Election Commission of India issued a fresh work allocation order on November 4, formalizing the distribution of administrative, IT, and grievance-related responsibilities after a dispute in July. The controversy involved changes to the reporting structure of the IT and Public Grievance Redressal System portfolios, which had been reassigned from Deputy Election Commissioner Sanjay Kumar to Director General of IT Seema Khanna. Following objections from Election Commissioners SS Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, the earlier structure was verbally restored. The Commission clarified that decisions were unanimous and no reporting changes occurred.
