A total of 3327 members are voting in the Kolkata Metro Rail's union elections on Wednesday and Thursday.

language. This lack of Bengali on the ballot has drawn criticism from all participating organizations, particularly given a recent viral video showing a conflict between two female passengers over language use on the Metro. The Left is using a rose symbol, Trinamool Congress a train engine, Congress a book, and the Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh a fist holding a paddy stalk. The last election was in 2013, with the Left-affiliated Metro Railway Men's Union winning. A Metro Railway employee expressed concern about the absence of Bengali, citing central government regulations requiring ballots in three languages (Hindi, English, and a regional language).
