"WBPCC demands that both the general and police adminstration be directed to ensure security to Congress nominees," PCC General Secretary and spokesperson O P Mishra said in a letter to the state Election Commissioner Mira Pande on the municipal elections at Panskura in West Midnapore district and Haldia in East Midnapore district.
Alleging that Trinamool Congress might resort to 'strong arm tactics' on the last date of withdrawal on May 11, Mishra said there were complaints of harassment and intimidation of Congress nominees in the two municipalities.
"We would like to urge you to ensure peaceful conduct of election," the letter said.
