Just a week ahead of the first phase of voting for Lok Sabha Polls 2024, political parties in Chhattisgarh are facing an unusual challenge. The authorities have imposed section 144 in seven villages after a tiger was spotted over a month ago in Balodabazar, Chhattisgarh. Due to this, political parties have been restricted from campaigning there. Also, use of loudspeakers has also been prohibited in the seven villages.
