Noting that the COVID-19 situation is largely under control in Gautam Buddh Nagar and vaccination going on full-swing, he appealed to the voters to come out in large numbers as adequate precautionary measures will be in place during the elections.
"The model booths are being prepared in an effort to increase the voting percentage in the district. These booths, many of them made in schools, will ensure Covid-appropriate behaviour with facilities for face masks, gloves and sanitisers also," Mr Yathiraj said during a virtual press conference.
