Members of a BLO rights platform with Trinamool Congress affiliations staged a protest outside the Chief Electoral Officer's office demanding compensation for colleagues allegedly affected during electoral duties and seeking better scheduling practices.
The demonstration coincided with a special visit from the Election Commission, but protesters claimed they were denied an audience with the officials despite prolonged waiting.
The protest spotlighted demands for compensating families of workers impacted by electoral duties and called for improved planning in future revisions, amidst police efforts to control the unrest.
