“How many police and rangers officers are there and where are they stationed,” the judge inquired.
Pertinently, on the last hearing, the court was informed by the election commission that the meeting to decide on the polls will be held on November 9, however, later it was said that due to a public holiday the commission will hold the meeting on November 10.
