To prevent post-poll violence in West Bengal, the Election Commission of India has adopted unprecedented measures, including the retention of 700 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). These forces will maintain peace in sensitive areas and respond quickly to any incidents. Security arrangements around counting centres have been tightened, with CAPF and local police jointly monitoring activities to prevent clashes. Additionally, 24×7 control rooms have been established at the Election Commission of India headquarters in Delhi and the Chief Electoral Officer's office in West Bengal to ensure immediate action on counting day. A QR code-based entry system will restrict access to counting centres to authorized personnel only. This initiative follows the violence after the 2021 Assembly elections, which saw numerous incidents of violence, including 29 murders and 391 cases of grievous injury documented by the National Human Rights Commission. The Election Commission has also issued a stern warning that those involved in violence will face strict legal consequences, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful electoral process.
