Special project under SVEEP ‘Gaurav Cachar’ launched by DC Jalli to sensitize young voters

Feb. 27: The Cachar district administration has taken up a special project under Systematic Voter Education and Electronics Participation (SVEEP) to sensitize young voters in the upcoming elections. On Friday morning, Deputy Commissioner Cachar, Keerthi Jalli and Additional Deputy Commissioner, Cachar, Sumit Sattawan launched the theme ‘Gaurab Cachar’ and unveiled a mascot on this occasion.

The administration has already started taking steps to motivate young voters in the district to vote. Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli said, “Cachar district has a rich history of its own. The Station Commission meeting was held in 1882 and Silchar municipality was later formed from that source. There are also the last ruins of Dimasa kingdom in Cachar district. We still see in those ruins, patterns of highly advanced engineering. Keeping that history in mind, our theme this time is ‘Gaurab Cachar.’ We want every youth of the district to enrich the right to democracy keeping in mind that rich history. We want them to come forward and vote for themselves, vote for whoever they like and if they don’t like any candidate, then there is the option of NOTA”.

The safai karmacharis of Silchar Municipality were also felicitated on the occasion. In this connection, Deputy Commissioner Jally said, “Last year, when everyone was confined to their homes during the difficult time of coronavirus infection, these cleaners have kept the whole city clean at the risk of their own lives. Containment zones were set up in different areas and they have shown courage by clearing the garbage. We salute them and plan to put them in front to make voters aware this year”.
