Central team arrives in West Bengal for assessment

By IANS,

Kolkata/New Delhi : A three-member central home ministry team, led by union Additional Secretary (home) D.R.S. Chowdhary, arrived in Kolkata Monday on a two-day fact-finding mission to West Bengal in the wake of recurring political violence.

The issue led to adjournment of both houses of parliament in the day after the Left parties protested the home ministry’s move. Home Minister P. Chidambaram has said the visit was not aimed at imposing president’s rule in the state.

The central team is to meet senior administration and police officials at the state secretariat Tuesday.
