Chandigarh, January 14
All national and state parties contesting the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections in Punjab will be given a minimum of 90 minutes on the regional centres of Doordarshan and the All India Radio, a communication by the Election Commission to the office of the CEO stated.
Considering the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the situation of enhanced non-contact based campaign, the EC has doubled the broadcast/telecast time to each national party and recognised state parties on Doordarshan and All India Radio, an official spokesperson said.
In a single session of broadcast, no party will be allowed more than 30 minutes.
The Congress in Punjab will get the maximum time of 456 minutes each on both mediums. —
