Kolkata, Jan 19 (UNI) Hours after the Supreme Court on Monday directed the Election Commission to publish the list of “logical discrepancies” in West Bengal's electoral rolls, the state's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Manojkumar Agarwal held an urgent meeting with senior officials of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in New Delhi to discuss the issue related to the state’s voter list.
