Within a day of its opening, the control room set up at the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata to register grievances relating to the panchayat polls in West Bengal has received more than 300 complaints.
Governor C. V. Ananda Bose said the complaints received would be forwarded to the State government and State Election Commission. On Monday, Mr. Bose met the officials at the control room and urged them to speak with compassion to those reaching out, but not make any commitments to them.
Speaking to reporters later, the Governor said the ‘peace room’ was necessary as certain misguided elements had opened up ‘war rooms’ in different parts of the State.
