‘Son of the soil would be better acquainted with sentiments of local people’
The police administration in West Bengal, where the Trinamool Congress scored a massive win against the BJP in a bitterly contested election for the Assembly, is undergoing a major shake up.
So far, more than 45 IPS officers have been transferred in the overhaul, a process that began last Wednesday when Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee took charge as the Chief Minister for the third time. Many more officers are expected to receive their orders in the coming days. Eight of them have been put on “compulsory wait”, when they aren’t assigned any duties.
