Mamta had filed a complaint on April 1 regarding malpractices are taking place at the polling station number 7 in a school in Nandigram.
The Commission responded in six pages on April 4.

Further the Commission added that the paramilitary personnel on duty neither went inside the polling station nor prevented anyone from voting.
