The Central forces have arrived in the twin townships ahead of the elections and chances are you have seen them marching in your neighbourhood dressed in combat fatigues and wielding assault rifles.
As of Wednesday, men from three companies of Central forces were camping at different schools of Salt Lake and preparing for election duty. More companies were on their way and were expected to reach Salt Lake and New Town soon, an official of the Election Commission said.
The first to arrive were companies from the Border Security Force (BSF). Each company comprises between 80 and 100 men who will be guarding the polling booths in Salt Lake and New Town tomorrow. They would also be posted around the booths and others would be patrolling on foot and on vehicles.
