Kolkata Officials Remove Temporary Structure Outside Abhishek Banerjee's Residence Amid Clashes
Kolkata Municipal Corporation officials removed a temporary bamboo structure and an iron gate obstructing the footpath outside TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's Kalighat residence. The action followed recent clashes between BJP and TMC workers during Banerjee's 39th birthday celebrations, which involved stone-pelting and injuries. Banerjee alleged an attack on his home and police surveillance, while Mamata Banerjee protested against the demolition. Authorities cited pedestrian inconvenience for the removal, amid heightened security and political tensions.
