Prior to Phase 6 polls, 33,000 police officers and 17,500 home guards were stationed in Delhi for the Lok Sabha election.

Sanjay Sehrawat, the DCP Election cell of Delhi Police, announced on Thursday that 33,000 police officers from Delhi Police, along with 51 paramilitary companies and 17,500 Home Guards from Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh, will be stationed in the nation’s capital ahead of the May 25 sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.

Additionally, Sehrawat disclosed that they have employed drones in highly sensitive areas to keep an eye out for any illicit activity.

“The Delhi Police has finished getting ready for the May 25 elections. Of the 2628 polling places, 429 are extremely sensitive. Along with the 33,000 Delhi Police officers stationed at the polling place, 51 paramilitary units will also be present for security, and 17,500 Home Guards from Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and MP will also be present, according to DCP Sehrawat.

“We have hired drones in very sensitive areas to monitor any illegal activities,” he stated.

Sehrawat also revealed that a lot of CCTV cameras have been placed on the interstate borders in anticipation of the simultaneous elections in Haryana and Delhi.

On the interstate borders, we have erected a sizable number of CCTV cameras that will be watched around-the-clock. A combined team from the Delhi Police and the Haryana Police will be monitoring the Delhi-Haryana border because both cities are holding elections on the same day,” he stated.

The Delhi Police seized approximately ₹14 crore in cash during the entire election campaign, according to the DCP Election cell. The purpose of the investigation is to determine how this money was spent.

All seven seats in Delhi are up for election in a single phase, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the INDIA bloc—which includes the Congress and AAP—will compete fiercely.

In the nation’s capital, the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress are fighting together for four seats and three seats, respectively. Chandni Chowk, East Delhi, New Delhi, North East Delhi, North West Delhi, South Delhi, and West Delhi are the seven parliamentary constituencies in Delhi.

Polling took place in its first five phases on April 19, April 26, May 7, May 13, and May 20. The following two voting rounds are scheduled for June 1 and May 25. On June 4, the votes will be tallied and the results announced.
