A day after BJP demanded the Election Commission to postpone bypoll in Balha Assembly seat, district administration today said it had taken all certain flood control measures and would review the situation by August 29.
"There are over 100 polling centres affected due to floods in Balha Assembly seat. We have taken certain flood control measures in these areas and will review the situation by August 29 before giving our report," District Magistrate Satyendra Singh said.
BJP state president Lakshmi Kant Bajpai had yesterday written a letter to the EC requesting it to postpone the bypolls to Balha and Nighasan seats in the wake of flood situation in Bahraich and Lakhimpur districts.
Bypolls to the two Assembly seats are slated for September 13 next.
