MALDA, 25 OCT: The Malda district administration has sought the help of seven companies of paramilitary forces for conducting bypoll in Sujapur. Today, the Malda police forces marched into different sensitive areas of the Sujapur Assembly segment, under Kaliachak police station. The Malda SP Mr Bhuban Mandal said: "We have organised a routine march here as preventive measures."According to him, the district magistrate has asked the election commission to provide the deployment of seven companies Central forces in almost all poll premises to ensure a peaceful by-election. “If required the Central forces will be available and we would also deploy our police forces to maintain law and order in other areas,” Mr Mandal added. The IG north Bengal Mr KL Tamta met the Malda police officials today and visited the Majampur area again to take stock of the situation. The Malda SP claimed that the situation there was under control and no report of turf war between the two anti-social groups had been reported. He also admitted that despite several attempts, police could not trace the main criminals behind the trouble. It was reported that both the groups of criminals were backed by the Congress and the CPI-M. The CPI-M leaders criticised the police highhandedness in Majampur and said that they were carrying on raids unnecessarily, where innocent people were being harassed. English Bazaar police yesterday seized fake Indian currency worth Rs 1.61 lakh and arrested one person near Madhughat, close to the Kaliachak police stations. Acting on a tip-off, last evening the Malda police forces recovered four pipe guns and cartridges from Asit Kundu in Malda town, who allegedly bought the arms from Sujapur under the Kaliachak police station.
