KOLKATA: Two persons were killed and 10 others, including one from the security force, injured in a fresh bout of violence in the Nandigram area of West Bengal on Tuesday. The casualties occurred in a landmine explosion during intermittent exchanges of fire between activists of the Trinamool Congress-backed Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh (Resistance against Land Eviction) Committee and supporters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Tussle for supremacyThere were unconfirmed reports of two more landmines exploding, raising suspicions of the involvement of Maoists in the recent spurt in violence. It is increasingly becoming a tussle for political supremacy in the region, after beginning as a movement against acquisition of land for a chemical hub there. The project was subsequently given up by the State government in the face of opposition by a section of the locals. ‘A battlefield’Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said the Nandigram area had become a “battlefield.”
