Addressing party leaders and workers in a virtual meeting on Friday, TMC's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee announced a series of measures aimed at assisting citizens and closely monitoring the SIR activities across the state.

The TMC national general secretary is supposed to have suggested taking his fight to New Delhi.

According to sources, Abhishek Banerjee has directed the formation of 294 war rooms across West Bengal during the virtual meeting. Each war room will be supervised by the local MLA, while in constituencies without an MLA, the block president will take charge. Banerjee has reportedly stressed that every war room must be equipped with adequate laptops and internet connectivity, and staffed with at least four to five technically skilled individuals familiar with computer operations.
