Curtains came down on this evening campaigning for 57 seats going to poll in the fifth and last phase of bitterly-fought Bihar Assembly elections on November 5, with acrimonious exchanges provoking showcause notices from the Election Commission to top leaders of rival alliances.
The 57 seats, including 24 in the Seemanchal region bordering West Bengal, are spread over nine districts of Madhubani, Darbhanga, Supual, Madhepura, Saharsa, Araria, Kisanganj, Purnea and Katihar.
