Election Commission Halts Recruitment Results in Haryana Amidst Assembly Polls

The Election Commission has barred the announcement of results for ongoing police constable and teacher recruitment processes in Haryana until the assembly election concludes. This decision aims to maintain fairness during the election period. The polls will occur on October 1, with results expected on October 4.

In a bid to maintain fairness during the Haryana assembly elections, the Election Commission has prohibited authorities from announcing results of ongoing recruitment processes for police constables and teachers until the elections are over.

The single-phase assembly elections in Haryana are set for October 1, with results anticipated on October 4.

Despite existing Model Code of Conduct (MCC) rules allowing ongoing recruitment by statutory bodies, the EC found no code violations but chose to defer results to ensure a level playing field. The move follows a complaint from Congress leader Jairam Ramesh regarding recruitment processes.
