The Election Commission (EC) has taken a stringent step to ensure peaceful polling in West Bengal by deploying teams of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) across the state. The move aims to prevent any use of bombs or explosive devices by miscreants during the voting process scheduled for Wednesday.
NIA Deployment Details
According to EC officials, NIA teams have been strategically positioned in sensitive areas to deter any unlawful activities. The decision comes after intelligence inputs suggested potential threats of bomb attacks to disrupt the electoral process. The EC has instructed security forces to maintain high alert and coordinate with local police.
Security Measures in Place
Additional security measures include increased surveillance, checkpoints, and patrolling in vulnerable regions. The EC has also urged political parties to ensure their supporters follow the model code of conduct. Any violation will be dealt with strictly.
The deployment of NIA is part of a broader security plan to ensure free and fair elections in the state. Voters have been assured of their safety and are encouraged to cast their ballots without fear.
