He dismissed the news reports, claiming that panchayats in Arki were planning to boycott the polls, as wrong and false and said the heads of these bodies had stated that there was no such plan.
Kanwar said the Electoral Officer of Arki, Esha Thakur, was directed to conduct an inquiry into the matter.
A team comprising Arki Tehsildar Ravish Chandel and Block Development Officer Jaywanti Thakur, along with the Naib Tehsildar, had visited the area on Saturday, and after proper verification concluded that the news was bogus.
