After the victory in West Bengal, rallies have been banned, a major directive from the CEO’s office.

West Bengal: Amidst the ongoing vote counting in West Bengal, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) office has issued an important directive. According to a senior official, victory rallies will not be allowed in the state following the victory of any candidate. This decision was taken to maintain law and order and peace during the counting process.

The counting of votes for the assembly elections is underway in the state, and votes are being counted amid tight security at various counting centers. Meanwhile, Subrata Gupta, the Special Observer appointed by the Election Commission, informed the media about this decision.

He clearly stated that no candidate or political party will be allowed to hold victory processions or rallies in any part of the state after the results are announced. This ban will apply throughout West Bengal to avoid any crowds, tensions, or law and order problems.

This directive from the Election Commission is being seen as a precautionary measure, as political tensions may arise in many places during the vote counting process. The Commission believes that crowded celebrations or rallies could escalate the situation and impact security.

Officials stated that security forces have already been deployed at all counting centers, and the administration is fully prepared to deal with any untoward incident. District officials have also been instructed to take strict action against any unauthorized rallies or gatherings.

Political parties have also been informed of this directive and urged to adhere to the Election Commission’s regulations. The Commission states that it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that the democratic process is conducted peacefully and fairly.

In West Bengal, incidents of violence and tension have occurred in the past following election results, which has prompted the administration to be more vigilant this time. Keeping this in mind, the decision has been taken to completely ban victory processions.

While all eyes are on the final counting results, the administration’s priority is to ensure that the entire process is conducted without any disruption and peacefully.
