The West Bengal government on Saturday dissolved the Police Welfare Board, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said.
The chief minister, after chairing an administrative review meeting at Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district, asserted that attacks on police personnel would not be tolerated under any circumstances and stressed the need for strict enforcement of law and order.
"Earlier, there was the law of the rulers; now there is the rule of the law," Adhikari said, underlining his government's stand on policing and administration.
"The Police Welfare Board was constituted with a good intention. But eventually, it became a party's frontal organisation.

Today, we are dissolving the Board," Adhikari said.
The chief minister also announced that women police personnel would be given priority in postings wit
