The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has introduced the innovative concept of "Green Polling Stations" at 15 polling locations across Pimpri, Chinchwad and Bhosari constituencies. Each constituency will host five eco-friendly polling stations, featuring informative exhibitions on various plant species, including ornamental plants, fruit trees, medicinal herbs and diverse palm varieties.
As part of the 2024 Assembly Elections, PCMC is implementing a voter awareness campaign under the Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) programme. This initiative is being carried out under the guidance of Commissioner Shekhar Singh and Additional Commissioner and SVEEP Nodal Officer Vijaykumar Khorate, with support from Deputy Commissioner Anna Bodade and Assistant Commissioner Avinash Shinde.
Scheduled for Wednesday, November 20, voting day will see all polling stations equipped with the necessary facilities to ensure smooth operations. In line with this effort, the "Green Polling Station" initiative aims to enhance voter participation and promote environmental awareness.
Commissioner Shekhar Singh has urged all voters in Pimpri, Chinchwad and Bhosari constituencies to exercise their right to vote and contribute to the democratic process.
Additional Commissioner Pradip Jambhale Patil emphasised that this unique initiative aims to inspire voters to actively participate while also raising awareness about environmental conservation.
