EC to buy new EVMs that stop working when they are tampered
The Election Commission is set to buy next generation EVMs that become "inoperable" the moment attempts are made to tamper with them, reports said. The 'M3'-type EVMs are also equipped with a self-diagnostic system for authenticating the genuineness of the machines. Around â¹1,940 crore (excluding freight and taxes) will be required to procure the machines, the Law Ministry has said.
