With the determined efforts by relevant Government departments and their staff in carrying out the preparatory work, the election could be conducted in a smooth and orderly manner.

If anyone who attempts to disrupt the election, law enforcement agencies will take resolute law enforcement action and not allow culprits to remain at large.
