Ex-Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla meets Coimbatore Collector

Navin B. Chawla, former Chief Election Commissioner of India, met Coimbatore Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati on Wednesday and presented a copy of his book Every Vote Counts: The Story of India’s Elections. Later, he wrote to Mr. Pati pointing out that election staff were often reluctant to approach those areas where ex-leprosy patients had settled. He sought for measures to sensitise the staff that ex-leprosy patients cannot transmit the disease and they have nothing to fear.
