Security Upgraded for CEC Gyanesh Kumar Amid Protests Over Electoral Roll Revision
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's Z security cover has been strengthened amid protests over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Additional personnel have been deployed around his Delhi residence, the Election Commission office, and for personal protection following demonstrations near his homes in Delhi and Agra. The protests, led by opposition parties including the INDIA bloc and figures like Rahul Gandhi, demand Kumar's resignation. Authorities cite threat assessments and intelligence inputs for the enhanced security measures, while the Election Commission maintains the revision aims to clean electoral rolls.
