GUNTUR: The Guntur police propose to put prominent political leaders having security cover in the district under house arrest on the day of municipal polling if they violate the election code of conduct.

People's representatives and other political party leaders, who have a security cover of any category, are not allowed to enter any polling station or go round various stations, hence they have been advised by the Superintendent of Police, V.C. Sajjanar, not to violate the directive of the State Election Commission.

They are not allowed to be poll/booth agents of candidates and come anywhere near them, he said and added that all the political parties had been told not to nominate such persons for such jobs.
