The CEO said 141 polling parties were dispatched in Aizawl, Lunglei, Lawngtlai and Saiha on Tuesday while the rest of the polling parties will be dispatched on Wednesday. As many as 4812 polling personnel and 4409 security personnel including 12 companies of CRPF and 20 companies of state armed police will be on election duty.
