Bokaro: The Bokaro district administration has directed all institutions and shops in the Bermo assembly constituency to remain closed on the bypoll day on November 3, so that all workers and employees can get the opportunity to cast their votes.
In an order, DC-cum-district election officer Rajesh Singh said employers should give leave to their staff, including casual and contract workers, in the constituency with full salary for the day.
Singh, who reviewed a poll preparedness meeting on Wednesday, also directed district and poll officials to ensure social distancing at the booths on the polling day.
Notably, the district authorities have made arrangements for the polling day to ensure free, fair, smooth and safe polling with additional polling booths to keep the Covid virus at bay.
