Trump Lashes Out At Reporter in Tense Clash Over WHCD Shooter’s Manifesto

The Calcutta High Court has set aside the Election Commission’s blanket 48-hour ban on bike movement ahead of the second phase of West Bengal assembly elections. While upholding the ban on motorcycle rallies, the court ruled that a total restriction on bike riding is unjustified. It allowed limited pillion riding for 12 hours on poll day with specific exemptions, including voting, medical emergencies, and family functions. Service providers and office commuters were also exempted. The court stressed that the EC’s powers must align with existing laws, noting that adequate security forces are already deployed to ensure peaceful polling.
