He said according to the report only 2-3 per cent work is left to be done now.
"They have committed to do the rest also," Sarkar said.

"The police observers, who are IPS officers from different states, will remain till polling day in their constituencies. They will monitor all law and order related issues during the elections," he said.
To a question, the official said the wife of Trinamool Congress candidate Laxmi Ratan Shukla is a returning officer and has informed the Election Commission about their relationship.
"But Shukla is yet to file his nomination. For us he is a candidate only when he files his papers. Once that is done the matter will be looked after by us," he said on whether they will remove his wife as a returning officer.
