Muzaffarpur hospital blaze kills 3 patients, leaves 20 injured
Tensions between the West Bengal government and the Election Commission over the state’s voter list have escalated, prompting the Commission to summon Chief Secretary Manoj Pant to Delhi. He was directed to be present by 5 pm on Wednesday to meet senior EC officials.
Pant reached Kolkata airport around 9:30 am and left for Delhi shortly after. The meeting is expected to focus on the ongoing dispute over the voter list and related administrative matters that have recently strained relations between the two sides.
Sources indicate that the Election Commission has sought clarification from the state government on several key points. These explanations will be presented directly by the Chief Secretary, with the discussion likely to influence the next steps in resolving the matter.
The meeting is being viewed as a significant move toward addressing the issues and ensuring smooth electoral processes in the state.
