Lok Sabha Poll Call 2024: ECI orders storing, sealing of symbol loaders from Phase 3

Sealing and securing could see a shortage of up to 3,000 SLUs for the last two phases as the symbol loading machines used from phase 3 to phase 5 would not be available for reuse. To avoid a shortage, ECI is learnt to have directed Bharat Electronics and Electronics Corporation of India to ensure availability of the required number of SLUs, including accessories, for the remaining phases, and assembly elections to some states.
