It dismissed claims of disenfranchisement, asserting that ineligible individuals cannot invoke fundamental rights under Articles 19 and 21. The ECI also noted that over 1.5 lakh booth-level agents from major parties participated in the process. This revision is seen as a measure to ensure free and fair elections ahead of Bihar's polls.

To provide armed security to the re-opened Indian embassy in TripoliThe Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is deploying around 40 commandos, led by a Deputy Commandant, to secure the Indian embassy in Tripoli, Libya, which reopened in July 2024 after a five-year closure due to conflict. The fragile security situation following the 2011 fall of Gaddafi had forced India to suspend operations and shift oversight to Tunisia. With improved conditions, the embassy has resumed functioning, necessitating armed protection for diplomatic staff. The CRPF previously guarded the embassy before the shutdown and has experience in similar roles, such as in Baghdad. The move underscores India’s commitment to protecting its diplomatic interests in high-risk regions.
