But the government official can participate in video conferencing, wherein the leader must physically address a public meeting at a place and then through video conferencing such leader can communicate with various other location people where a public meeting organized under the surveillance of the officials at that constituency.
The communication equipment installed at the physical location where the leader is addressing the people comprises of ...
... an audio and visual display, and a camera and microphone so that the member(s) of the community government whole body participating via video conferencing, the people government whole body in actual presence, and the community in actual presence may actively participate in the conference in accordance with rules of conference decorum.
