CHENNAI: AIADMK organising secretary and former minister D Jayakumar submitted a representation with the State Election Commission (SEC) and urged the commission to take steps to conduct the upcoming urban local body election in a free and fair manner.

In his representation, the former minister stated that CCTV cameras should be installed at all polling centres, strong rooms and counting centres. 

Contiguous recording of all material events during the elections, strong rooms and counting centres should be disclosed to the representatives of all the parties. Observers should be appointed block-wise and not district-wise, he urged.
