The government of West Bengal, under Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, has officially withdrawn the Z-plus security cover previously provided to Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). This decision was made after a thorough security review, during which Adhikari emphasized that unnecessary security should not be funded by the government if there is no serious threat. Banerjee had been under Z-plus security for over 10 years, but this was scaled down following the TMC's defeat in the recent elections. He will now receive only the standard security cover allotted to Members of Parliament. The change in security protocols also affected the arrangements for former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, indicating a broader reevaluation of security measures for politicians in the state. The alterations in security provisions include the removal of additional personnel and surveillance measures at multiple properties associated with Banerjee.
