In Sandeshkhali, West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas, ongoing tensions led villagers to set fire to properties belonging to Trinamool Congress leaders, including poultry farms. The agitation was triggered by grievances against local Trinamool Congress leaders, who were accused of torture and control of land converted into fisheries without proper compensation to locals. The situation escalated, and angry villagers took to the streets, attacking properties and demanding the arrest of Trinamool leaders Sheikh Shahjahan, Uttam Sardar, and Shiboprasad Hazra. Opposition parties criticized the Trinamool Congress government, while Trinamool leaders accused the BJP and CPI(M) of inciting unrest.
