While sympathizing with the families of those who lost their loved ones, he said the government would continue to encourage all individuals charged with the responsibility to ensure a successful conduct of the 2011 elections. His words: "There are some anti-social elements who want to derail the election process but they would not succeed. We will definitely conduct our elections. I am quite happy that the corps members are the ones used for this process. We sympathize with those who have lost their loved ones but they should know the hazards we all face every day while doing our work
