Election Commission Imposes Strict Restrictions Ahead of West Bengal Assembly Polls

In a significant move aimed at ensuring free and fair elections, the Election Commission has announced a series of strict measures across West Bengal ahead of the upcoming assembly polls. The guidelines, which came into effect on April 21, are part of efforts to maintain law and order during the sensitive election period.

As per the directives, the use of two-wheeler vehicles has been banned in several areas. Additionally, bike rallies—often seen during election campaigns—have been prohibited to prevent any potential disturbances or unlawful gatherings.

The Commission has also imposed restrictions on night-time movement, tightening surveillance to curb any untoward incidents. In another key measure, riding with two persons on a single vehicle has been disallowed, further emphasizing the administration’s intent to minimize risks and maintain strict control.

These regulations have been enforced across all 152 seats going to polls in the first phase. Notably, the decision was implemented just two days before polling, underlining the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

The first phase of voting in West Bengal is scheduled to take place on April 23. Authorities have urged citizens and political parties to strictly follow the guidelines to ensure a peaceful and orderly electoral process.
