Guns blaze again in Nandigram, 10 hurt
Saugar Sengupta | Kolkata
After three months' of uneasy quiet, Nandigram once again erupted to gun battle on Monday night between the CPI(M) cadre and the opposition Bhumi Ucchhed Pratirodh Committee members, leaving 10 people hurt, one of them seriously, in East Midnapore, the district administration confirmed.
The violence started after police arrested 34 CPI(M) supporters from Takapura area on charges of last year's violence following deposition from the Bhumi Ucchhed Pratirodh Committee men, sources said adding the two sides exchanged gunshots and hurled bombs through out the night punching a big hole in the security forces' claims of "optimum sanitation" (off arms).
"The CPI(M) cadres hurled bombs at our men after their men were arrested by their own police" Bhumi Ucchhed Pratirodh Committee leader Abu Taher said.
While nine of the injured were being treated at the Nandigram primary health centre one person was admitted to Tamluk district hospital with serious injuries.
This was the first gun fight after peace returned to the area in December.
The situation was tense but under control the police said adding night vigil was stepped up in the area.
Meanwhile, the Railway Police on Tuesday found 16 rounds of live cartridges and one hand grenade at the platform of the busy Howrah Railway Station'.
In another incident the Army retrieved 28 cannon shells from GRP camp at Burdwan Station before detonating them.
In the first case the ADG Railways, Mitra couldn't confirm the sources of the find in Howrah and said the police were investigating the case.
For Burdwan, Colonel Kuldip Singh said the grenades could have gone off any time as they had been dangerously kept in the GRP station in Burdwan Railway Station premises.
The explosives were found a couple of days ago and dumped in the GRP office, sources said.
