On News@7 this April 7, Areeb Raza brings to you the evening’s most crucial headlines. Campaigning for the 126-member Assam Assembly elections ended on Tuesday ahead of polling on April 9 involving 722 candidates, with intense exchanges between the BJP and Congress over issues such as development, infiltration, corruption and governance. In Manipur, the state government suspended mobile internet services across five districts after a blast in Bishnupur killed two children, triggering violence, protests and a curfew. Meanwhile, the Election Commission is preparing to launch the final phase of its Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls across 22 states and Union Territories after ongoing Assembly elections conclude, covering nearly 390 million remaining voters to update and clean electoral lists nationwide amid legal and political scrutiny.
