Advisory: Photograph and Documentation

The other day, I was shown a Press Clipping showing that EVM awareness is going on in a Boat. We need to capture interesting events in the course of GE2009 by digital photographs. I'd advise all ROs/DEOs to dedicate a creative person with a digital camera to capture such events. These may or may not relate to polling preparations. Some examples:
(1) Interesting campaign modes by political parties, use of traditional folk art, witty cartoons/graffiti
(2) Handicapped persons being helped, visually challenged ones using Braille
(3) Ideal / best polling booth lay-out
(4) Interesting patterns in voters' queue
(5) Any extreme booths (least no of voters/ most remote)
(6) Novel modes of transport (pony/ van rickshaw/ boat/ tractor/)
(7) Celebrities queueing up
(8) CPF and police in interesting poses
(9) Media moving with camera
(10) School benches used to make voters sit, rather than stand, in queue (I saw this in Mizoram Elections where I went as a Special Observer)
(11) Any memorable event (Think!).
- In short, I'd expect each RO to come up with a CD with interesting photos with proper captions, after the GE2009.
I plan to upload these later in Flickr and You Tube etc for the world to see.

Sir,
One query.
If any organisation or association of drivers declares that they will support a particular party in coming parliament election and if they officially announce that no vehicle will be given for use to any other political parties, will it be a violation of model code of conduct?

Respected Sir,
if the angle structure provided by the WBSEDCL in any private house for the purpose of extending electricity connection will be treated as the private structure or not concerning MCC?

If a taxi refuses to take a passenger, there is perhaps some section in the MV Act. I'm not sure.
