    Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Monday faced protests during a visit to the Kalighat Temple in south Kolkata. Demonstrators showed black flags and shouted “go back” slogans as CEC Kumar arrived at the temple.

    Police personnel present at the site intervened and brought the situation under control, allowing him to continue with his visit.

    Similar Demonstrations At Airport

    Protests had also taken place on Sunday night when Gyanesh Kumar arrived in the city. As his convoy exited the airport, workers of the All India Trinamool Congress raised “go back” slogans. 

    Black flags were again shown to the CEC when his convoy passed through the Kaikhali area along the VIP Road. Activists belonging to Left parties also staged demonstrations outside the airport, adding to tensions in the area, PTI reported.

    Police said the situation was handled promptly and prevented from escalating.
