Makeshift Structure Removed Outside Abhishek Banerjee's Kolkata Residence Amid Tensions
Kolkata Municipal Corporation officials removed a makeshift bamboo structure from the footpath outside Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee's Kalighat residence, citing inconvenience to locals. The action followed recent clashes between BJP and TMC workers near Banerjee's house during his 39th birthday celebrations, which involved stone-pelting and injuries on both sides. Banerjee alleged an attack attempt and protested outside his home. Former West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee condemned the incident and vowed to oppose intimidation. Details on the bulldozer action remain limited.
