The Election Commission of India (ECI) has instructed West Bengal's bureaucracy, including district magistrates and police superintendents, to ensure impartiality and transparency during the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar emphasized a zero-tolerance approach towards violence or intimidation. Central forces will be deployed impartially, and observers will actively visit polling booths. The ECI prohibits civil volunteers for election duties, establishes a social media cell to counter misinformation, and urges transparency in granting campaign permissions. The EC's stringent measures aim to uphold fairness and accountability in the electoral process.
