Good to see proactive measures. But I hope these vehicle checks are conducted respectfully and don't cause unnecessary harassment to common people. The focus should be on preventing actual threats, not just creating show of force.

Security is paramount, especially with the issue of illegal immigration being such a hot topic in Assam elections. Strict monitoring is needed to prevent any cross-border mischief or transport of cash/liquor. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

The real test is on polling day. Hope the police remain vigilant and impartial. We've seen in past elections how intimidation can happen. Kudos to SSP Leena Doley for taking charge.

While security is important, I hope the administration also focuses on basic facilities at polling booths - shade, water, proper queues. Sometimes the focus is only on law and order, not voter comfort.
