India, May 2 -- The political drama in Bengal is far from ending. While the repolling is on at 15 booths in South 24 Parganas district, massive protests were reported from Falta area as locals alleged threats and intimidation by Trinamool Congress (TMC) cadre ahead of the counting of votes for the West Bengal Assembly elections being held on May 4.

The tense situation prompted the authorities to strengthen the security measures as heavy security deployment was witnessed in the area, with personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Rapid Action Force (RAF) stationed at key locations, ANI reported. An armoured CRPF vehicle was also deployed as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order amid rising tensions.
