The Election Commission of India on Saturday froze the Shiv Sena party’s poll symbol of ‘’bow and arrow’ in the ensuing Andheri East assembly by-election slated for November 3. EC’s ruling came amid the ongoing tussle between the Uddhav Thackeray faction and its rival Eknath Shinde camp. In its 13-page interim order, EC said, ‘’neither of the two groups shall be permitted to use the symbol bow and arrow, reserved for Shiv Sena.’’
