PM will offer Anjali to Maa Durga this Ashtami in Kolkata, receives multiple invitations
In a significant move ahead of the Assembly elections, the Election Commission of India has adopted a strict approach to ensure a transparent and violence-free polling process, directing bars and liquor shops in Kolkata to shut down nearly 10 days before voting. The decision comes amid concerns over the use of alcohol to influence voters and the potential for law-and-order disturbances during the election period.
The sudden order has triggered widespread reaction across the city, catching both consumers and business owners off guard. While the move is aimed at maintaining electoral integrity and preventing any untoward incidents, it has disrupted plans of many who intended to stock up in advance, highlighting the broader impact of the Commission’s tightened enforcement measures in the run-up to polling.
