West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today directed the police in Birbhum district to take action against illegal arms and bomb manufacturing units to curb growing crimes in the district.
The chief minister asked the district Superintendent of Police, N Sudheer kumar, to shut down all 'bomb-making factories' in the district.
"Shut down all bomb factories, recover all illegal arms. We will not allow anybody to create trouble forcibly. The police will take strong action," she told the SP.
"No hooliganism or threat with arms and swords will be allowed. The ruling party in Delhi is bringing arms from Munger in Bihar to create unrest here," Banerjee told a district administrative meeting.
Referring to armed clashes at Parui and Nannur in the district, the chief minister said, "No such incidents will be allowed to take place anywhere in the state. Armed hooliganism will not be tolerated."
Warning against factionalism in her party, Banerjee cautioned Kajal Sheikh, brother of Ketugram MLA Sheikh Swanaz, and rival of district TMC president Anubrata Mondal.
"No terror activities will be tolerated any more," Banerjee cautioned with a directive to police to take prompt action against such activities.
In the meeting she highly appreciated the Birbhum district administration for executing various development and welfare programmes.
Apart from government officials, a group of students from Visva Bharati were present in the administrative meeting.
Answering to a question by a student on the progress of Nobel-theft investigation, Banerjee said, "The CBI started the investigation, but they said later that they had closed it. We asked them for sending details of the investigation and documents to us. Unless they hand over the case, we cannot proceed. However, an investigation is going on.
