The Election Commission of India is cracking down on model code of conduct (MCC) violations, with the Mumbai City collectorate attending to 61 complaints raised since March 16 against various candidates via the constitutional body’s app cVIGIL. The software enables users to capture pictures, videos and upload complaints, which are processed in 100 minutes. “cVIGIL allows vigilant citizens to give live reports on MCC violation within minutes of having witnessed them,” said an official. Complainants don`t have to rush anymore to the office of the returning officer in their Assembly constituency,” the official added.
