Delhi HC seeks EC, Centre's response on use of face masks during poll campaign

Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the Centre and the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the use of face masks during the ongoing election campaign. With five phases of assembly polls in West Bengal still to go, the notice could impact campaign events planned by the Trinamool Congress, BJP, Congress and the Left.

The notice was in response to a plea seeking directions from the high court mandating the use of face masks by candidates and campaigners.
