EC CALLS FOR FIR OVER VICTORY GATHERINGS AFTER POLL RESULTS

NEW DELHI:

The election commission on Sunday told political parties that its ban on victory processions during and after counting of votes is being flouted, and asked them to restrain their workers from violating Covid-19 guidelines.

Physical distancing went for a toss as TMC supporters hit the streets over the party’s poll victory prompting EC to call for action. The poll panel asked the state administration to take action against all police stations that failed to stop enthusiasts from taking out rallies.
