Elections for Siliguri Municipal Corporation, Chandernagore Municipal Corporation, Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation and Asansol Municipal Corporation -- are scheduled to take place on January 22.
The West Bengal BJP on Friday wrote to the state election commission (SEC) urging the poll panel to defer civic body polls due on January 22 due to the prevailing Covid-19 scenario in the state. BJP cited today's Calcutta High Court order wherein judges have directed the SEC to consider the postponement of four civic bodies polls in view of the surge in Covid-19 cases across the state.
