Following claims by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee that arms were stashed inside the Raj Bhawan, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Monday led a combing operation inside the premises. The Joint Combing Operation was carried out by the Kolkata Police, the Raj Bhavan Police Outpost, the CRPF, the Bomb Squad, and the Dog Squad, and was personally supervised by the Governor. The Disaster Management and Civil Defence Departments were also scheduled to carry out firefighting drills at the Raj Bhawan today.

The combing operation inside the entire Raj Bhawan building and its precincts was carried out on the instructions of the West Bengal Governor after the TMC MP’s claims that arms and ammunition were stashed within the premises. The entire operation was reportedly live-streamed.
