Ahead of the eight-phased West Bengal Assembly elections scheduled from March 27, around 200 crude bombs were recovered from Bhangar constituency's Tarahediya Village of South 24 Parganas district.
The police have initiated an investigation into the matter. "Around 200 crude bombs were recovered from Bhangar area of South 24 Parganas district. Kashipur Police have started an investigation into this matter," said the police today.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has decided to beef up security in Kolkata and neighbouring districts of North and South 24 Parganas, considering them the most sensitive areas. The ECI has also decided to withdraw a section of the personnel of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) from other districts and deploy them in the city and the two districts. 18 companies of CAPF have been allotted for both South and North 24 Parganas districts. Ahead of polls, the security personnel are now engaged in area domination and confidence-building exercises.
This comes amid incidents of political violence regularly making headlines in poll-bound West Bengal. In a recent such incident, on March 5, six BJP workers were seriously injured in an alleged crude bomb blast in Rampur village of South 24 Parganas district.
West Bengal Assembly elections will be held in eight phases starting from March 27 with the final round of voting taking place on April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
