The ECI has also issued directions to give permissions within 24 hours once candidates/parties make a request.
DC Sharandeep Brar further said “ECI has also launched another Android-based app, using which a person can secretly send to it geo-tagged videos and photos of illegal money being distributed or a hate speech being made during polls”.
The unique Internet-based beta version of the application is called 'cVIGIL', which stands for "citizens' vigil".
