• The CEO's office clarified that they never claimed all pending cases were due to EROs' indecisiveness, stating some cases were sent for adjudication due to non-disposal at ERO/AERO levels.
• The CEO's office issued a strong warning to the WBCS Association, advising officers on ECI deputation not to act as spokespersons.
• They cautioned against making comments based on hearsay that could undermine constitutional bodies, emphasizing adherence to the 'Laxman Rekha' of conduct rules.
