AGARTALA,   

Tripura today introduced for the first time in the country the PVC Electoral Photo Identity Card (PVC EPIC) as mandated by the Election Commission of India.

“Tripura earned the fame of introducing the PVC-EPIC card in the country under the instructions of the Election Commission of India (ECI),” Chief Secretary Sanjoy Kumar Panda said after inaugurating a Common Service Centre here through which such cards were distributed.

The Election Commission had mandated that all voters would have to be issued PVC EPIC in line with specifications provided by it with security printing to prevent the card from being tampered with, he said.

The card was simultaneously introduced in 23 sub-divisions of all the eight districts of the State, he said.

Anwesha Majumder, an 18-year-old engineering student, was the first recipient of the new card from the Agartala centre.

Shiladitya Sarkar, in charge of introduction of PVC EPIC cards in the north-eastern region, said the same would be introduced in Mizoram on Tuesday next.
