KOLKATA: West Bengal governor C V Ananda Bose ordered Kolkata Police personnel deployed at the Raj Bhavan to immediately vacate the premises on Monday morning, according to an official.
The governor has plans to transform the police outpost situated near the North Gate of the Raj Bhavan into a 'Jan Manch' (public platform), the official added.
The official informed, "The governor has directed police officers deployed inside the Raj Bhavan, including the officer-in-charge, to immediately vacate the premises."
This action follows a recent incident in which the police stopped BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari and alleged victims of post-poll violence in the state from entering the Raj Bhavan to meet with governor Bose, despite the governor providing them with written permission to do so.
