Police enter Nandigram after a long gap

Nandigram: Nearly five months after they were barred from entering into the trouble-torn Nandigram, the West Bengal police have been able to set up camps in eight villages in the area.

The police on Friday entered to stop attacks from Marxist-dominated Khejuri on Nandigram and vice-versa, East Midnapore Superintendent of Police G.A. Srinivas said on Saturday.

The SP hoped that the police presence would help in resuming development work in the area, which was halted following violence. The Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Committee convener Sheik Suffian said that villagers of the troubled block had been initially apprehensive of the entry of police, but had accepted it as it would bring peace.

The police had been unable to enter Nandigram since January when roads were dug up to prevent their entry. They again made an attempt to enter on March 14, which led to police firing in which 14 people were killed. — PTI
