More than 4500 thousand officers and employees were put on duty in three assembly constituencies of Sehore district, Budhni, Ichhawar and Sehore for the third phase of Lok Sabha elections,. What made the election special was that on the instructions of Collector and District Election Officer Shri Praveen Singh, total honorarium of Rs 45 lakh was paid to the officers and employees of the polling parties even before they returned subsequent to elections. Chief Electoral Officer Shri Anupam Rajan has appreciated this innovative experiment. After the voting process was over, when the polling team returned to Polytechnic College Sehore to deposit the voting material, many officers and employees told that they have already received SMS on their mobile phones regarding the amount of honorarium. Many officers and employees including Smt. Pratima Singh Thakur, Shri Rajesh Kumar, Shri Ashok Pawar, Shri M.L. Uike said that for the first time, their honorarium has been paid before the voting process was over, which is commendable. For this they have expressed their gratitude to the District Election Officer and the Election Commission.
