The joint chief electoral officer Abhijit Agarwal has directed the telecom companies to maintain call contact-related issues of toll-free number 1950 set up by the commission. The number of the state contact centre being operated in the districts have been given to all telecom service providers so that the mapping of toll-free number 1950 could be done correctly.
