File:Emblem of West Bengal (2018-present).svg, resize it plz

 Not done for now: This image appears 2 places in the infobox. Please explain which one you want resized, what the new size should be, and why this is necessary (they both look reasonable to me). Jamedeus (talk) 18:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
