In response to escalating post-poll violence in West Bengal, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has directed authorities to arrest those responsible for the unrest, which resulted in the deaths of two individuals and vandalism of political party offices. The directive comes after the assembly elections held in April, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a decisive victory, ending the Trinamool Congress (TMC)'s 15-year rule. Kumar emphasized the need for immediate action against those inciting violence and instructed the West Bengal chief secretary, police officials, and district magistrates to enhance patrolling in sensitive areas to prevent further incidents. The Election Commission is closely monitoring the situation and has urged local authorities to remain vigilant to ensure peace is maintained.
