| On a visit to Nandigram in East Midnapur district for the second time in two months after fresh eruption of violence involving rival political groups on Sunday, the Chief Minister said that the government had information that the Maoists were taking training in Ghatshila in Jharkhand and in Jhargram in West Bengal. "Be careful of the Maoists. They are bound to create trouble. They have come to Nandigram in groups. They will make an attempt to return. We have information that they are taking training in Jharkhand and also in Jhargram and Ghatsila areas in West Bengal. They only kill people," Bhattacherjee said after distributing land ownership documents to some families in Nandigram Block-1. Appealing to all the parties, including CPI(M) and Trinamool Congress, for peace in Nandigram, Bhattacherjee said that the immediate priority was to take up development works which had remained stalled for the past one year owing to continued violence. "We want peace. Forget what had happened here. Erase it from your mind", he said. This was the second visit to Nandigram by Bhattacherjee. He had last visited the area on December 26. The visit came in the backdrop of clashes between the supporters of the Trinamool Congress led Bhumi Ucched Committee, spearheading an anti-SEZ campaign and the CPI(M). Distribution of strips of land to landless farmers comes ahead of the impending panchayat elections in the state. |
