The Election Commission's 'C-Vigil' app, designed to register and track complaints of violations of the Lok Sabha General Election Model Code of Conduct, is receiving a huge response from citizens. A C-Vigil cell is functioning at the district level to monitor the complaints filed through it.
Citizens can complain about code of conduct violations by uploading information, photos, and videos on the C-Vigil app without revealing their identity. Thus, 1,505 complaints have been received since March 15. Out of these, 1,329 complaints were acted upon, while the remaining 176 complaints were dropped at the level of the Election Adjudication Officer and Assistant Election Adjudication Officer.
