Green model polling stations in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district

A few villages in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district are set to make the panchayat elections a pleasant experience for the voters as well as the staff.

Six villages in the district will host green model polling stations, incorporated with environment friendly initiatives, informed Collector and District Election Officer M. Hanumantha Rao.

One village each from Alair, Admakur, Bommalaramaram, Rajapet, Thurkapalli and Yadagirigutta mandals will have the green polling stations during the first phase of elections. The stations will be plastic free.

Further, the entrances of these polling stations will be decorated with flowers and the path up to the polling booths will be lined with plants and coconut branches, Mr. Rao said.

Instructions have been issued to use banana leaves or leaf plates instead of plastic plates, and earthen pots have been arranged for drinking water, he said, attributing the arrangements to directions by the State Election Commission. Mr. Rao inspected the arrangements in two villages, Sharajipet in Alair mandal, and Saidapuram in Yadagirigutta mandal.

The other villages are Survepally in Atmakur, Pakkirguda in Bommalaramaram, Rustapuram in Thurkapally, and Kalvapally in Rajapet.
