Siliguri: Six companies of paramilitary forces will be put into action to maintain law and order in the violence-hit areas of north Bengal, police said on Sunday

Paramilitary forces have been requisitioned to tackle law and order problems in Dooars region of Jalpaiguri district and Siliguri, Inspector General of Police (North Bengal) KL Tamta told PTI. Applauding the role of police in controlling violence in the region during the recent strikes, he said they arrested 84 persons in connection with Saturday's clash in which two persons were killed and 20 others injured.

Meanwhile, Gorkha Janamukti Morcha General Secretary Roshan Giri told PTI that they were observed a 'black day' on Sunday in Darjeeling, Dooars and Terai. While condemning Saturday's violence, he alleged that the CPI(M) had plotted violence to divide the Gorkhas and the Adibasis.

"CPI(M) cadres came out with sharp weapons to attack Gorkhas for no reason. We will discuss the entire episode in our central committee meeting within a day or two and decide what to do," he added. (PTI)
