Kolkata, April 19 (NationPress) The Governor of West Bengal, C.V. Ananda Bose, emphasized on Saturday that the restoration of peace in the violence-stricken Murshidabad region is of utmost importance, noting that the local populace is dissatisfied with the state government.
“I have engaged with the residents here, and they voiced concerns about the state administration. I have given them a contact number for direct communication with my office. My sole aim is to restore peace in the region. I will also urge the state authorities to take necessary measures,” the Governor informed reporters after meeting with the family of Late Hargobindo Das and Chandan Das, who lost their lives during the violence in Samserganj last week.
The Governor assured the grieving family that those accountable for the deaths would face justice.
To date, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident. “If there are others involved, they too will face consequences,” the Governor stated.
During his discussions with local residents, they urged him to ensure the establishment of permanent Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) camps in the vicinity for their ongoing security.
“We have lost everything. We cannot even sleep at night due to fear. Our safety may be compromised again unless permanent CAPF camps are put in place here,” a local resident expressed to the Governor.
Although Bose refrained from making any specific promises regarding their request for permanent CAPF camps, he provided the number for the “Peace Room” at Raj Bhavan in Kolkata, encouraging the public to reach out should any further security concerns arise.
Earlier in the day, members of the National Commission for Women arrived in the troubled area, where local women urged them to advocate for the establishment of permanent CAPF camps with the Union government.
The delegation assured them that they would address the matter with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
