West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee arrived before time for her 12 noon dharna at Gandhi Murti in Kolkata against the 24-hour campaign ban that the election commission (EC) imposed on her. She termed the EC's move 'undemocratic'.
However, the army was yet to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the protest when she arrived, as per information received. TMC had earlier applied for an NOC to go ahead with the protest.
