Panchayat polls in West Bengal will be conducted in a single phase on May 14, the State Election Commission announced here on Thursday. Polling will be held in over 58,000 booths for the three-tier election, it added. Re-polling, if needed, will be held on May 16, and counting will take place on May 17. The earlier schedule was for polls in three phases on May 1, 3 and 5. It was pushed back after the Calcutta High Court stayed it. Our Bureau
