According to the Income Tax Department, this control room will work as an election surveillance system throughout the election period. Along with this, common citizens will also be made aware that if they get any information about distribution of money, illegal cash, black money or other valuable items during elections, they should immediately share it with the department.
For this, the Income Tax Department has kept its official channels like WhatsApp, Tax Messaging System, phone calls and e-mail active, so that information can be obtained easily and quickly. The department has assured that immediate action will be taken on the basis of solid and reliable information, so that the dignity and transparency of the electoral process is maintained.
Keep an eye on unaccounted cash
The Income Tax Department has also clarified that their main focus during the elections will be on identification and seizure of unaccounted cash. Concern has been raised for a long time regarding such activities in local body elections. Officials believe that the role of the general public is very important in this direction, because many times such activities remain hidden from the common sight, which can be easily identified by the local people. Only through public cooperation can these illegal activities be effectively curbed and the democratic process can be made clean and fair.
