Kolkata: The Election Commission has designated 837 of the 1,835 booths under Kolkata North parliamentary constituency as ‘highly sensitive’, citing fears of possible irregularities. At hundreds of these booths, 150 or more names were removed from the voter list during the SIR process. Kolkata North District Election Officer (DEO) Smita Pandey said on Monday, “The Election Commission fears that people left out of the voter list may take to the streets to vent their anger against the deletion of names.” “The polling body has identified 837 out of 1,835 booths under the parliamentary constituency as ‘highly sensitive’. Of the seven assembly constituencies under Kolkata North, Shyampukur has the maximum number of such hyper-sensitive booths (80),” he said. According to Pandey, apart from removing booths, “those creating unrest, violating law and booths in densely populated places” are also factors considered before deciding on giving them the ‘highly sensitive’ tag. An Election Commission official admitted that the number of ‘highly sensitive’ booths was quite high, amounting to about 45.6% of the total. The Election Commission has declared 264 out of 583 polling precincts in seven assembly constituencies as ‘highly sensitive’. Pandey said the Election Commission is planning to use drones in densely populated streets of northern parts of the city “to ensure free and fair elections”. Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Nand, who attended a press conference organized by the DEO of Kolkata North, said that police and paramilitary personnel have started the route march as a confidence building measure. Preventive arrests are also being made and unaccounted cash is being seized, he said. Kolkata South DEO Randhir Kumar said that out of 1,093 polling stations in the four assembly constituencies under the parliamentary seat, more than 400 were identified as ‘critical’ or ‘unsafe’. Kumar said enforcement agencies have so far seized unaccounted cash and articles worth Rs 8.9 crore, including Rs 80 lakh recovered on the first day. Also 32 weapons and 83 rounds of ammunition were seized. Kumar said around 30 companies of CAPFs have been deployed in the city to ensure free and fair elections.

Srinagar: Clip-Clop. Hooves tap the asphalt. The engines fall silent as the horse-drawn carriage slips into traffic that has long been forgotten.Ghulam Rasool Kumar is roaming alone on his horse carriage in the old city of Srinagar amidst the crowd of horns and headlights. At 70, he is back on the streets he left behind once the horse-drawn carriages stopped paying.“I had a license of 1968. I was 12 years old,” he said, holding up a paper from another era – “Sadiq sahib’s time… what more do you want.” [late Ghulam Mohammad Sadiq, CM from 1965 to 1971]Kumar left the job in 1986. Returned last year. It became a curiosity overnight. Tourists climbed on it, influencers filmed reels, photojournalists chased it through the narrow streets. CM Omar Abdullah posted about him on X. For many young riders, it’s not transportation. It’s memory on wheels.Then the Pahalgam terrorist attack of April happened. The tourists disappeared. Earnings are over. Kumar stopped again.Earlier this month, he returned – a horse with a fine black coat brought from Sopore in north Kashmir, a carriage with a shiny canopy from Anantnag in south Kashmir – adding to a business that refuses to end quietly.He does not charge any fixed rent. “Pay whatever you want,” he tells riders.Tall, lean, wearing dark glasses, he looks younger than his age. He talks – about roads, traffic, loss. “This road was not a road, it was a stream called Nala Mar,” he said while guiding on the Bohri Kadal-Sekidafar road.Near Nava Kadal bridge, words slow. There is silence. “My two sons drowned in this river. The river has taken away both my sons.”He moves forward. The sound becomes stable. “There were cars then, but not like today. “Very few people had cars.”Drivers now drive slowly not out of irritation but out of curiosity. The tanga is magnificent in modern Srinagar. Kumar asks for one thing – patience. “No breaks,” he said. “People should be considerate.” they are. The horns soften around him.His favorite stories are from another time – when queues of horse-drawn carriages ran across the city, when the tourist reception center was bustling with horse-drawn carriages, when ministers enjoyed what he still calls “luxury”.In a city that moved forward, Kumar stayed. People shout “the last of the tangs” when the bells ring and the slow, steady beat of the hooves – this sound was from the 1930s to the 1960s when such carts ruled the streets of Srinagar. The traffic now swallows the echo, but for a few fleeting minutes, the city listens to its past.
