In addition to the Excise officials on duty, 96 more officials from neighbouring districts will be on duty in the district during the dry days.
Ten additional excise outposts and a 24-hour mobile petrol unit would function for the election, said a release issued here on Sunday.
Additional staff will monitor the border check-posts at Kumily, Cumbom Mettu, and Bodimettu.
