West Bengal's new Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has Z-plus security, is giving sleepless nights to the Kolkata police with her penchant for making unscheduled visits on her way to office.
Banerjee has refused to use her official bulletproof car, dispensed with the pilot car of her convoy, which she has also pruned and claims no preference for her vehicles at traffic signals, which has left security officials worried.
"The chief minister has instructed the police that she didn't need any extra arrangements and will follow traffic rules like any other citizen," a senior police officer said on condition of anonymity.
Commenting on her own security, the chief minister told a Madhymaik topper who said her mother was concerned about it, "I will keep in mind what you are saying. Tell your mother that I am thankful to her for thinking about my safety," Banerjee told the girl Megha Mullick of the Ramkrishna Mission Sarada Vidyapeeth in Jayrambati during a TV interview.
