State Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal said that live footage from all eight strong rooms, including seven housing EVMs and one for postal ballots, was being continuously telecast.
Tensions were reported in north Kolkata where TMC candidates Kunal Ghosh and Shashi Panja staged a sit-in protest outside the Khudiram Anushilan Kendra, alleging irregularities in the storage of EVMs.
Earlier in the day, Mamata Banerjee, in a video message, urged party leaders, candidates and workers to remain on high alert and guard strongrooms housing EVMs.
