West Bengal's Chief Electoral Officer has directed district officials to immediately file FIRs against any destruction of public property or attacks on staff during SIR-related hearings. Hearings will be adjourned if violence persists, requiring CEO approval to resume. This directive follows an incident in Murshidabad where an MLA was not named in an FIR despite alleged vandalism and hate speech.
