The dismantling of barricades outside the residence of Mamata Banerjee marks a pivotal shift in West Bengal's political landscape. Following the TMC's electoral defeat, security provisions at her south Kolkata residence noticeably declined on Tuesday.
Police were observed removing the guardrails without any formal notice to the public. Officers attributed the action to directives from higher authorities, though no specific reasons were provided.
The security adjustment included withdrawing personnel outside TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's office on Camac Street. Officials revealed that security arrangements for outgoing TMC leaders are under review, reflecting a broader reassessment of security needs post-election.
