District Election Officer (DEO) Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat joined the voter awareness programme organised by the district election authority at the historic Ghanta Ghar under the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP), a flagship programme of the Election Commission of India which encourages all eligible citizens to vote and make an informed decision during the elections.
