What's behind this

Following a dispute over work allocation that prompted Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi to approach the Cabinet Secretary, the Election Commission issued a fresh work‑allocation order on November 4. The order restores DEC‑level oversight of the Information Technology division, placing the IT head back under senior Deputy Election Commissioner Maneesh Garg. Earlier, an internal order dated July 28 had also addressed the IT chief’s supervision, and an EC official later said there was no change in the chief’s supervision.
