Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

In a press release issued by the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DSZC) on April 14, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) warned the people of West Bengal, polling personnel and journalists, not to travel in vehicles of paramilitary or Police personnel, reports The Times of India. This comes after Maoists killed 14 people, including seven polling officials, at Bastar in Chhattisgarh on April 13. Senior Police officers did not take the release seriously but Chief Electoral Officer Sunil Gupta admitted that there was a threat perception. There is a Maoist problem in Jangalmahal even now and the Election Commission will do everything to make this election peaceful. The voting time in these six assembly constituencies have been cut short. Polling will take place from 7am to 4 pm in assemblies like Binpur, Jhargram, Bandowan, Bagmundi, Joypur and Balarampur, Gupta said.
