Agartala, Aug 29: Ahead of Tripura by-elections to the two Assembly seats, a three-member team from the Election Commission of India (ECI) held a series of meetings with Tripura officials on Monday to review the preparations for by-polls.
The by-polls for the two Assembly seats will be held on September 5.
The team led by the Election Commission’s Principal Secretary, Arvind Anand, held the review meetings at Sepahijala district headquarters.
Tripura Chief Electoral Officer Puneet Agarwal, District Magistrate and Collector Vishal kumar and two other EC officials — Santosh Kr. Dubey (Secretary) and Ankur Matla (Assistant Section Officer) were present at the meetings, among others.
The crucial by-elections will be held in Boxanagar and Dhanpur Assembly seats in Sepahijala district on September 5.
The by-election to the Dhanpur Assembly seat was necessitated after Union minister Pratima Bhoumik resigned, days after her election as a BJP nominee in February.
