Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): With Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the ensuing Lok Sabha Elections coming in force, the initiation of the developmental projects the foundation stone of which has already been laid will be affected. Besides, even the revenue work like demarcation, division, land records will be hit as the staff concerned will be engaged in poll duty. Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC)’s AMRUIT Yojna and PM Housing for all (HAF), road construction and repairing will have to wait till the elections are over. Public hearing which is held on every Tuesday, will remain suspended till MCC remains in force.

Staffers engaged in election duty: Collector
With model code in place, revenue related work like demarcation, birth certificates, Khasra number, land record, survey work etc will also be hit.
