Units at UP airports to check illegal money flow
Clean Media Correspondent
Lucknow, Dec 29 (CMC): In a bid to check flow of illegal money to influence electorates during Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, intelligence units have been set up at all airports in the state.
"To check movement of money or bullion, which could be used to influence electorates or otherwise (in UP polls), airport intelligence units have been set up at all airports in the state," Chief Electorate Officer Umesh Sinha told reporters here.
AIU teams at bigger airports, to be headed by an official of Income Tax officer rank, would monitor movement of bullion, he said, adding that a round-the-clock toll free number has also been set up for enforcement purpose where any person can give information regarding illegal movement of cash, gifts or liquor.
The CEO said as compared to 2007 state assembly and 2009 Lok Sabha polls, more central forces would be deployed this time.
"For every phase, advance teams of central paramilitary forces will be deployed for area domination," he said.
These teams would patrol sensitive areas and polling booths.
Since yesterday, 24 complaints relating to violation of model code of conduct have been received and inquiry has been initiated, Sinha said.
