The central government has filed an application in the Supreme Court against the West Bengal government, led by Mamata Banerjee, over the deployment of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The Centre claims that 92 CISF personnel, including 54 female personnel, are facing severe accommodation issues due to the lack of proper facilities and logistics support provided by the state government. The Home Ministry has submitted an affidavit highlighting these concerns and accusing the West Bengal government of non-cooperation and failing to comply with the Supreme Court's order. The Centre's plea seeks the Court's intervention to ensure adequate support and accommodation for the CISF personnel stationed at the medical college. The Centre aims to make Bengal a safe haven for women and points to the non-availability of accommodation as a significant issue.
