The Election Commission (EC) will send a team of five senior officers, headed by Bihar Chief Electoral Officer Sudhir Kumar Rakesh, to West Bengal to make a first-hand assessment of the law and order situation there in view of the coming elections to the 294-member Assembly.
The team, after visiting different districts, will submit a report to the EC.
In a press release, the EC said it was met by several political parties in Delhi and during its visit to Kolkata on January 8 too, it received representations over the law and order situation in the State.
