Naka checking and night patrolling in these areas should be undertaken jointly by the police and para-military forces to ensure peaceful polling. Mr. Rajendra stressed upon the officers to maintain close co-ordination within their ranks and other agencies to deal with any emergent situation in their respective jurisdictions.
