The election department Thursday issued show-cause notices to as many as 71 officers in Kamrup Metropolitan district, comprising the capital city, for being absent in poll training programme.

"These officers were allotted duties in the parliamentary elections 2019 and have failed to attend their urgent election related training programme without providing any justifications or reasons of their absence," an official release said here.

Biswajit Pegu, District Election Officer of Kamrup Metropolitan, has issued the show-cause notices to them and sought their replies in writing within two days.

"Failing which, disciplinary action will be initiated," said the DEO.

The Kamrup Metropolitan district, which comes under the Gauhati Lok Sabha constituency, will go to polls in the third phase on April 23.

The three-phase voting for 14 seats in Assam will take place on April 11, 18 and 23.
