Dimapur, June 25 (EMN): Residency Colony has resolved to make polling station No. 65, within its colony under 2 Dimapur II Assembly Constituency as a model polling station of clean election and pledged to avoid multiple enrolment, not to sell or buy votes and to ensure one man one vote.
The resolution to this effect was taken during a general meeting on clean election convened by the colony Clean Election Committee and attended by all council members, GBs, women leaders, youth leaders and some church activists numbering 40 members.
Speaking at the meeting, the chairman apprised the gathering about the DUCCF & GBs Union decision to take the clean elections campaign at the colony level based on the clarion call of NBCC. He called upon the public not be discouraged by looking at the larger picture, but look within individual to be agent of change.
“When we as an individual wants to change and make a real commitment to change, change is possible... likewise when every individual changes, the whole State will change. Change should begin from within,” the chairman exhorted.
The youth leaders urged upon the council leaders to lead the way stating the younger generation will give their full support for a clean society.
A special prayer of forgiveness on bitterness and misdeeds of past elections was lead by Mrs Amongla.
It resolved that the committee will ensure genuine voters come out to cast their vote. The committee will verify the queue and insist every voter to hold their colour voter ID card. On the polling day, elderly voters will be allowed to vote first, followed by youth members and conclude with the chairman.
The meeting mandated the committee to assist the BLO to purify the E- roll as and when CEC notifies and to delete all non existing people’s name.
It resolved that no proxy or outsiders shall be allowed to vote and allowed setting up of youth camps and desist demanding money from the candidates or the workers.
It also resolved that political parties and candidates will not be allowed for pocket meeting and house visiting, adding if any candidate wants to have a meeting with the general public, he or she must approach the council and request for the same.
Further it resolved that if any resident violates the above resolutions... he or she shall be deprived of all facilities and rights as the resident of the colony. The punitive punishment and condemnation will be lifted only after the next round of elections where he or she must prove the commitment to change by abiding and fulfilling the clean elections pledge.
