Kolkata: Election Commission in a letter to Bengal CEO Manoj Agarwal on Wednesday, again directed that no civic volunteers or Green Police be deployed for election-related duties.
The directive also prohibited the personnel from wearing the uniform three days prior to the polls and one day after the polls are over.
BJP had submitted a memorandum to the CEO last year, urging a ban on civic volunteers after allegations of them being misused by the ruling party to manipulate the polling process.
