Jugsalai and Jamshedpur West assembly segments topped the chart as far as sensitive and hyper-sensitive booths are concerned followed by Jamshedpur East constituency.
While 127 booths are sensitive, 104 are hyper-sensitive of total 318 booths in Jugsalai, in Jamshedpur West 101 booths are sensitive and 129 hyper-sensitive followed by Jamshedpur East constituency, where out of total 264 booths, 192 are sensitive and 31 hyper-sensitive, Kaushal said.
When his attention was drawn that majority of the sensitive and hyper-sensitive polling stations are in urban pockets, Kaushal said all the parameters set by the election commission have been taken into account before identifying sensitive and hyper-sensitivity of the booths.
As far as urban pockets was concerned, it was due to political aspect, he said.
Kaushal said adequate forces are available to hold a peaceful polling tomorrow in the district, where altogether 75 candidates for six assembly segments including Baharagora are in the fray.
