Which one of the following is not a duty of CISF personnel when deputed at a polling booth during election ?
Explanation
Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) like the CISF are deployed during elections under the direction of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to ensure a free and fair polling process. When deputed at a polling booth, their primary duties include:
- Maintaining peace and order at the polling station to prevent booth capturing or intimidation.
- Providing security to polling personnel to ensure they can conduct their duties without fear.
- Securing Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and VVPATs during the polling process and their subsequent transport to strong rooms.
Ensuring the security of candidates is generally the responsibility of the State Police or specialized security details assigned based on threat perception, rather than the specific duty of personnel stationed at a polling booth for election conduct.
