“I have come to visit North Bengal. I would like to check the situation of the Panchayat polls myself. I will visit the vulnerable areas considering Panchayat elections. 

Some atrocities and violations took place in different places. I will visit those places and will find out the real facts. 

In my experience, all the reports on the violation cases are filtered. For this, I want to know the real facts behind the incidents. I will meet the victims,” said the Governor.
