The poll panel said in a statement on Thursday that the officials in these two districts have been transferred as "pre-emptive measures to dispel any apprehensions of the administration being biased or perceived to be compromised". Among others moved out are SPs of Chhota Udaipur and Ahmedabad Rural districts in Gujarat, SSPs of Pathankot, Fazilka, Jalandhar Rural and Malerkotla districts in Punjab, DM of Dhenkanal and SPs of Deogarh and Cuttack Rural districts in Odisha and DM of Purba Medinipur, Jhargram, Purba Bardhaman and Birbhum districts.
