No physical rallies till January 15, poll staff to get booster dose

Taking note of the rising Covid graph, the Election Commission on Saturday announced a clutch of precautionary and proactive measures for the five poll-bound states, including a total ban on physical rallies, roadshows, car and bike rallies and processions till January 15. Chief election commissioner Sushil Chandra said that since nobody could accurately predict how the Omicron curve would behave, the EC would take a call after January 15 on whether to retain or relax the ban.
