West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said that the proposed Powergrid Corporation sub-station AT Bhangor in South 24 Parganas district might be relocated if the situation warranted.

In a re-tweet, Banerjee said, "No land will be acquired if people don't want to give away land. Proposed power grid will be relocated if required."

Clashes broke out between two factions of the ruling Trinamool Congress at Bhangor today over the project land and police had to intervene to keep the situation under control.

Following the tension which ensued, the state government asked the Powergrid authorities to halt the project progress.
