New SP takes charge, normalises Majampur situation

MALDA, 15 OCT: Taking over the charges of Majampur, where turf war was going on over a month under Kaliachak police station, Malda SP Mr Bhuban Mandal has urged locals to lead normal life, reopening shops and markets.
In the last two weeks police carried on massive raids to curb the continuous clashes between two groups of criminals allegedly backed by the CPI-M and the Congress in the bordering villages.
Male members from five villages fled their home fearing police raids and attacks by the opponents. Schools, markets, even small shops were shut down.
In the meantime police have seized a number of crude bombs from different areas belonging to both the groups and some muskets from few areas.
Mr Bhuban Mandal, said: “Situation of Majampur is under control now. People are gradually returning home. We have asked them to lead normal life reopening shops and markets”.
Mr Mandal also said that police patrolling and raids will be continued in trouble-torn areas to curb crime so that the criminals can not create any fresh trouble.
The SP pointed out that some areas have been identified across the district where thousands of people assembled for Kali puja. Some police teams will begin march there tonight. ;SNS
