Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has issued a decisive mandate: arrest those responsible for post-poll violence in West Bengal without delay. This directive follows the deaths of two individuals and widespread vandalism during post-election unrest, as reported by officials on Wednesday.
Gyanesh Kumar emphasized the urgent need for strict law enforcement. Authorities, including the state's chief secretary and top police officials, have been instructed to ensure constant patrolling in sensitive areas, reflecting the Commission's alarm over law and order concerns.
On high alert, police and central forces are working in tandem across districts. The assembly elections, held in two phases in April, concluded with the BJP's decisive victory, putting an end to a 15-year reign by the TMC. As the situation unfolds, security remains paramount for maintaining peace and order.
