The West Bengal government has directed district administrations to relocate Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel stationed in nearly 165 schools after the April assembly polls to restore normal educational activities. Classes resumed on June 1, and the continued presence of CAPF in schools has disrupted teaching. Authorities have been instructed to move security forces to non-educational government buildings ahead of their scheduled withdrawal on June 20, with 50,000 to 75,000 personnel currently deployed for post-poll law and order duties.
