Mamata Banerjee is covered by a 'Z Plus' security!

On Tuesday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's security was beefed up as a Man carrying an iron rod climbed up the wall of her residence. 

According to the information, it is decided that police personnel posted at the state secretariat 'Nabanna' will not be allowed to use their mobile phones during duty hours, a decision that has been taken as part of measures to beef up security arrangements for the CM.

It has been noticed that most of the time the police personnel on duty are busy on social networking sites that hamper their job. To curb this, we have decided to ban the use of mobile phones by security officials while being on duty," a top bureaucrat told news agency PTI.

The police personnel will have to deposit their mobile phones before they join their duty at 'Nabanna' and will get them back after their shift is over, he said.

The decision might also be implemented at other governmental offices.

"It is a part of tightening the security arrangements at Nabanna," he said.

More police personnel will be posted at the chief minister's residence in each shift.

"Earlier, there used to be 70 police personnel in one shift. From now on, there will be 18 more," the official said.

The administration also decided to set up additional bunkers, police pickets and a new watch tower near Banerjee's residence to tighten the security in the area, he said.

Mamata Banerjee is covered by a 'Z Plus' security. The TMC chief has a 24X7 three-tier security around her residence where at least 150 police personnel and 10 commandos are deputed.

She is accompanied by at least 32 to 36 security guards.
