New Delhi: Post West Bengal violence, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has granted X-category security to all the BJP MLAs in West Bengal.
The security is being provided by CISF.

The Union home ministry approved the security cover after taking into cognisance a report prepared by central security agencies and the inputs of a high-level team of officers that was sent to the state by the ministry in the wake of post-poll violence against the workers of the BJP, news agency PTI reported.
After the fresh order, all 77 MLAs of the BJP have now been brought under central security cover.
