Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

During the 31st Name Expansion Day of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University on 14 January, municipal election candidates are prohibited from putting up banners, posters, or making speeches inside the campus. Police and the election commission will monitor activities, and any campaigning will be treated as a code of conduct violation.

A crowd of 2–3 lakh is expected. Various social and intellectual programs will be held, but as elections fall on 15 January, campaigning ends on 13 January.

Separate security for the event will include nearly 300 officers from Begampura and Chhawni police stations, police headquarters, rapid response teams, and riot control units for crowd management.
