CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s Chhattisgarh visit postponed
Mr Kumar — who is facing criticism over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls — and the fellow ECI officials were scheduled to travel from Delhi to Chhattisgarh for the visit spanning October 7 and 8
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and select senior officials from the Election Commission of India (ECI) had planned a two-day visit to Chhattisgarh from October 7 to 8, 2026. However, the visit has been postponed due to "unavoidable reasons," as per a government order on October 6, 2026. The postponement was communicated by the office of the Chief Electoral Officer in Chhattisgarh, stating that the revised date for the visit would be provided later.
The canceled itinerary included visits to significant religious sites such as the Goddess Danteshwari temple in Dantewada, the Bhoramdeo temple in Kabirdham, and the Chitrakoot waterfall in Bastar district.
