Media Certification Monitoring Committee (MCMC) and social media teams would start monitoring all the poll related activities in assembly constituencies from immediate effect, he said, adding that election expenditure inspection teams would be formed from November 3.

He said cases would be registered against those who violate the MCC under relevant sections of the law. “People can directly complain to the 1950 toll free number about the violation of the MCC,” he said. This time the Election Commission had made the cVIGIL App available to people, through which live photos and videos of code violations could be brought to EC’s notice, he said.
