Gorakhpur DM bans media from counting centre during bypolls
Gorakhpur District Magistrate Rajeev Rautela on Wednesday ordered the personnel at the counting centre not to give updates to the media during the Lok Sabha bypolls. He banned reporters with valid passes from entering the counting area, although they regained access after protests. The Samajwadi Party had alleged the DM was trying to make the BJP candidate win the bypolls.
