The Election Commission of India (ECI) has cancelled the West Bengal government’s alternative postings for 15 IPS officers who had earlier been removed from election-related duties.
The move comes following demands from opposition parties and despite objections raised by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The Commission has now decided to depute these officers as observers to other states to prevent any potential electoral influence. The officers include senior officials such as the commissioners of Bidhannagar and Siliguri.
The decision has been taken ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in the state scheduled for April.
