The Election Commission of India (ECI) has advised West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose to cancel his planned visit to Cooch Behar on April 18-19, during the silence period before the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls. The ECI highlighted that the visit would violate the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) and could disrupt poll officials on the eve of elections. The decision was also influenced by the fact that Governor Bose receives Z category security, requiring the presence of the district magistrate and SP wherever he visits, which could further complicate the situation on polling day.
