Election Commission Restores IT Director's Reporting to Deputy Election Commissioner
The Election Commission of India issued a fresh work allocation order on November 4, restoring the reporting structure of Director General (IT) Seema Khanna under a Deputy Election Commissioner (DEC). This follows a July 28 order that had reassigned IT and grievance responsibilities directly to Khanna, prompting objections from Election Commissioners S.S. Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, who raised concerns with the Cabinet Secretary. The new order formalizes the previous administrative arrangement, emphasizing unanimous Commission decisions and clarifying no change in oversight hierarchy occurred during the interim.
