Violence erupted in West Bengal’s Canning yesterday as two groups of Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers clashed outside the Block Development Office over filing nominations for the upcoming Panchayat polls. Visuals from the scene depicted chaotic scenes with the sound of gunshots being fired. This comes just a day after violent clashes in West Bengal’s Bhangar, where Indian Secular Front (ISF) party workers were reportedly beaten up by TMC goons when trying to file nominations. In response, the ISF is calling for the Election Commission to appoint a special observer for every booth and provide security by the local administration and police, as the situation is reportedly becoming sensitive across the state. The ISF also alleges that its party was not invited to the all-party meeting called by the Election Commission, despite being the third-largest party in the state.
