District election authorities have issued a formal notice to a city school after receiving reports that a political meeting linked to election campaigning was held on the premises on March 30. The notice alleges a possible breach of the Election Commission of India’s Model Code of Conduct (MCC), 2004, and seeks clarification on the incident.
The authorities have asked the school to provide a detailed explanation confirming whether a political meeting took place on the stated date and at the specified premises. Officials also want information about the circumstances under which the school was used and the names of those responsible for organising the event.
The development follows allegations that BJP candidate Vijay Gupta, contesting from the Central Guwahati constituency, visited the school as part of campaign activity. Election officials are probing those claims as part of routine enforcement of MCC guidelines during the poll period.
The MCC, issued by the Election Commission, sets out rules and norms for the conduct of political parties and candidates during elections; the notice signals that authorities are treating the complaint seriously and are seeking facts before deciding on any enforcement action.
Officials have warned that further action will depend on the responses received and the findings of the inquiry. Election authorities say they are intensifying vigilance to ensure compliance with the MCC and to protect the integrity of the electoral process.
