“No withdrawal of CRPF from Nandigram”

Kolkata: The West Bengal government on Wednesday ruled out the immediate withdrawal of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) from Nandigram and said it was up to the Centre to decide how long it would remain there.

“The State government does not want immediate pulling out of the CRPF from Nandigram,” said Home Secretary P.R. Roy. The Centre would decide how long the force would stay at Nandigram, he told reporters.

On Tuesday, veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu favoured continuance of the CRPF in Nandigram despite the CPI(M)’s allegations of excesses against the Central forces. — PTI
