Cameras, GPS, control rooms: How ECI plans to monitor West Bengal elections in real time

The Election Commission will deploy approximately 200,000 cameras for 100% webcasting of voting in West Bengal, with sensitive booths receiving three cameras. New initiatives like a control command center and a dedicated complaint cell aim for a violence-free and fair election. These measures, costing around 250 crore, are intended to transform the state's poll culture.
