Central forces conduct route march in the city

Central forces conducted route march in various parts of the city on Monday as part of area domination and confidence building measure among the people ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.

A contingent of central forces along with officials of Kolkata police conducted route march in various parts of north Kolkata.

Ten companies of central paramilitary forces had arrived in the state since Friday and are conducting flag marches in different parts of Kolkata and elsewhere before the seven-phase polls in the state beginning on April 11.

On Saturday during their route march the central forces personnel knocked at the doors of the people and assuring them not to be afraid of hooligans.

The ruling Trinamool Congress Sunday said the central paramilitary personnel should not "terrorise" the people in the "name of making them feel safe and secure".

The BJP has alleged that TMC is afraid that due to presence of central forces their plans to rig the polls might fall flat.
