WEST Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday expressed displeasure at not being updated on the law and order situation in the State with regard to post-poll violence by the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP). State Chief Secretary Alapan Bandopadhyay and DGP Virendra called on the Governor at Raj Bhawan on Saturday evening being asked by him over the law and order situation in West Bengal. “Unfortunately both came without any paper or reports sought. Directed them to send the same without delay. In a sense disgusted with such stance,” Dhankhar tweeted after the officers met him.

 

Maintaining that the Home Secretary has failed to apprise him on the law and order situation vis a vis the post-poll violence, Dhankhar had asked the Chief Secretary to see him. Dhankhar had tweeted earlier in the day that the Home Secretary did not forward reports of the DGP and Commissioner of Kolkata Police in this regard. “Chief Secretary @MamataOfficial has been called upon to see me today before 7 PM as ACS Home @HomeBengal failed to impart status report on law and order regarding post-poll violence,” the Governor tweeted.

 

“Such drifting of governance @MamataOfficial from constitutional prescriptions is unfortunate and cannot be overlooked. While the State passes through most severe post-poll violence, there is just NO input to the constitutional head. This is least expected,” Dhankhar wrote.
