Maharashtra SEC tests election ink after controversy

Maharashtra SEC tests election ink after controversy

The Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC) is checking the ink used in recent city elections.

Some people said the ink could be easily wiped off their fingers, so the SEC took samples from different places.

They sent these samples to a lab to see if the ink is good enough.

They took ink from places where people complained and from places where they didn't.

They also took ink from pens that were used and from pens that weren't used.

This will help them make sure the ink is strong and can't be easily removed.
