Fresh PIL Filed In SC Seeking Postponement Of Bihar Polls Due To COVID-19 & Flood

A fresh PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking postponement of assembly elections in the state, scheduled in October and November, due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic and serious flood situation.

The apex court had, 10 days ago, dismissed a similar PIL seeking postponement of assembly polls in Bihar till the state is free from novel coronavirus infections.
