Bombs were hurled from Khejuri towards Nandigram and gunshots heard in the Kedorabarchak area, a PTI correspondent said.
Sporadic clashes have been occurring since Friday night here between supporters of the CPI(M) and the Bhumi Uchhed Pratirodh Committee (BUPC), spearheading the protest against land acquisition for the SEZ to be set up by Indonesia's Salim Group.
