Shimla, May 9
The State Congress party opened a war room at the party headquarters, Rajiv Bhawan, Shimla to fight Muncipal Corporation election in the state.
A press release issued by Congress committee office bearers Harikrishna Himral said that a meeting was held on Saturday to finalize election-related responsibilities for the four Municipal Corporations.
Himral said the primary role of the war room is to maintain regular coordination with party workers and office bearers in the field, monitor election campaigns on a daily basis, and ensure implementation of guidelines issued by the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC).
He directed members assigned to various Municipal Corporations to remain in constant touch with district and block-level Congress leaders and gather regular feedback from the ground.
The Congress leader also stressed the need to monitor social media platforms to counter misinformation and alleged propaganda against the party or its candidates.
