Tamluk (WB) (PTI): With CRPF not being allowed to enter trouble-torn Nandigram, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday urged the Prime Minister's Office and the Union Home Ministry to ensure that the Central forces are deployed in the area.
"Banerjee spoke to the PMO and Union Home Ministry this morning and apprised them of the situation prevailing in Nandigram," TC General Secretary and MP Mukul Roy told reporters here.
"She also told the PMO and Home Ministry officials that CRPF was not being allowed to enter Nandigram and sought their intervention to ensure that the Central forces are deployed," he said.
Roy said CRPF personnel, who arrived on Sunday, were camping here and at Chandipur.
He said Banerjee, who left Kolkata on Friday, was prevented from going to Nandigram as CPI-M activists put up blockades at different entry points while the media was also being barred from entering.
The TC supremo, who had managed to enter this town on a motorbike from Kolaghat yesterday after her convoy was stopped, was staying here.
He said the "recapture" of Nandigram by CPI-M was complete and alleged that thousands of people were being beaten up and driven out of their homes.
"CPI-M hoodlums from their stronghold of Khejuri are searching for supporters of the Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Committee," he said.
