Election Commission's Hi-Tech War Room Monitors West Bengal Polls

New Delhi: West Bengal did not just vote this time, every vote was also monitored. The Election Commission converted its headquarters in Delhi into a hi-tech war room, sitting 1400 km away and monitoring the activities of every booth. The clear message was - distance can no longer be a shield for any disturbance. The Commission, under the leadership of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, had already assured -'No fear, no fraud, no chappa vote.'To deliver on this promise, this war room was set up, equipped with dozens of screens and live feeds, like a film control room. From 6 am, this war room was bustling. By 6: 30 am, live streaming of Bengal's booths began to appear on the screens and senior officers were activated with their respective responsibilities. At exactly 7 pm, the CEC entered and took stock of the situation and sensitive booths were immediately marked. It was not limited to just one hour of monitoring, but at 9 am, at 11 am, the cycle checkout analysis of the action was also done.
