The Trinamool Congress and Mamata Banerjee have demanded a recount of votes for the Nandigram constituency. A three-member Trinamool Congress delegation sought a meeting with the Chief Electoral Officer at the office of the Election Commission in Kolkata, asking for a recount of votes in Nandigram.

Meanwhile, leaders of 13 Opposition parties Sunday urged the Centre to launch a free mass vaccination drive across the country in view of the unprecedented surge in Covid-19 cases.

In a joint statement, they also called upon the Centre to ensure uninterrupted oxygen supply to all hospitals and health centres as they manage the staggering patient loads in view of the rising cases.
