The letter was apparently shot off after the home minister received a report from a three-member Central team which visited West Bengal early this month to assess the law- and-order situation there.

Sources said Chidambaram is understood to have asked Bhattacharya to tighten security and stop clashes between Left and Trinamool Congress supporters in different parts of the state.

The central team, headed by Additional Secretary (Naxal Management) D R S Choudhary, was sent following demands by TC chief and Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee as her party has been claiming that there has been “complete breakdown of law and order”.
