Given the history of violence in politically sensitive areas post-election results, special attention is being paid to these regions. Police officers have been prepared to respond swiftly to any disturbances, with strict measures in place to maintain law and order. The elections for 140 Assembly seats were conducted on April 9, and the results are eagerly awaited on May 4.
