Security has been significantly tightened outside EVM strong rooms at Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata ahead of the West Bengal election counting on May 4. Heavy police deployment, barricades, and Section 144 restrictions have been imposed in the area after political tensions escalated following Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s allegations regarding strong room arrangements. Officials have stated that strict protocols are being followed with round-the-clock surveillance to ensure security and transparency during the counting process.
