In a letter addressed to Election Commission of India (ECI), the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has alleged that there has been suspicious storage of 'unused EVMs' sent from different districts of Assam near the Strong Room in North Guwahati's Amingaon.

The party has alleged that around 10.35 pm on Sunday small trucks laden with supposedly unused EVMs' were brought to the Himatsingka Workshop, which is a private property, situated opposite to the DC Office, Kamrup (Rural).

As the area in which the 'unused EVMs' are being stored comes under the jurisdiction of the DC, Kamrup (R), the party has also alleged the ACS, who is also claimed to be close to Cabinet Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, of being involved in the act.

Citing such idiosyncrasies during election period, APCC has urged the CEO of the ECI to look into the matter and take strict action against the defaulters.
