Security Reinforced for Chief Election Commissioner Amid Protests Over Electoral Roll Revision
Security for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has been reinforced amid protests over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Additional personnel have been deployed at his Delhi residence, the Election Commission office, and for personal protection following demonstrations near his and his family's homes. The existing Z security cover remains unchanged, with authorities citing threat assessments as the reason for increased security. Opposition parties, including the INDIA bloc led by Rahul Gandhi, continue to demand Kumar's resignation, while the Election Commission maintains the revision aims to ensure cleaner electoral rolls.
