In a determined bid to ensure free and fair elections in Kolkata, the newly-appointed Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Nand has laid out a comprehensive plan. With the West Bengal assembly elections slated for next month, there's a heightened emphasis on stability and order.

Nand, who took charge after Supratim Sarkar's removal, promised unfaltering leadership and operational logistics to bolster the police force. Coordination with 30 companies of central forces is already underway, with nodal officers facilitating seamless joint efforts.

The strategic framework involves rigorous searches and raids to preempt election-related violence, a familiar challenge from past elections. The polls, scheduled in two phases, underline the significance of Nand's commitment to a transparent electoral process in the city.
