Guwahati: Election Commissioner Navin Chawla on Monday reviewed electoral arrangements and security scenario in Assam with senior officials in Guwahati before Lok Sabha elections.
Chawla came on a two-day visit to Assam and met deputy commissioners, superintendents of police of the districts and representatives of political parties, including Congress, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
