      The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday banned all victory processions on or after vote counting on May 2 in view of the rise in Covid-19 cases.

      This comes a day after the Madras High Court had asked the poll body to prepare a blueprint of how Covid protocols would be followed on the day of counting.

      The HC had pulled up the poll body for “not stopping political parties” from violating Covid protocols during their campaign rallies for Assembly polls in four states and an Union Territory.
