The Election Commission has replaced police observers in Malda following a complaint lodged by the Trinamool Congress.
Officials said the decision was taken to ensure impartiality and transparency in the conduct of elections in the sensitive district.
The Trinamool Congress had alleged bias and raised concerns over the role of certain observers, prompting the Commission to act.
New observers have been appointed to oversee law and order arrangements and maintain fairness during the polling process.
The move underscores the Commission’s commitment to addressing complaints swiftly and safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
