It causes grave concern that the boiling issue of land acquisition took such a turn as to take the horrifying shape of war at Nandigram. Hundreds of people have died in this pseudo war raging in Midnapur, West Bengal. Clearly, two factions have emerged and both appear equipped with modern assault weapons, and since January 2007, the warring factions have further aggravated the situation.
The unfortunate situation has been marked by a conspicuous absence of police and other administration personnel. The matter and the burning issue should have been resolved and contained with an iron hand of the administration and the government. The government in West Bengal continues to remain accountable for the maladministration in Nandigram. The government is answerable. So where are the answers? I fully support our current Chief Minister. He appears to be an honest person driven by development prospects within the state. But Sir, where are you and where are your comments?
The media has been blaring on the issue and all political parties are putting forth their views and opinions. I, however, fail to understand why should there be a Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Committee. The government had announced way back in March that there would be no immediate land acquisitions in Nandigram. So why should the BUPC still exist? If there is no land acquisition, why should there be a committee to prevent it. More so, with weapons. Ultra modern and automatic weapons!
All the killings need to stop at the earliest. I am sure that the government of West Bengal is committed towards the Constitution of India and would safeguard the interests and fundamental rights of all its citizens in Nandigram and all over the state. The culprits would be brought to book and peace should dwell.

Surely its a shame for the Govt. and for the people of not only the state but also the country. It shows the mentality of this Govt. and the so-called "our" C.M. that what the state needs is just the blood of the poor people in the name of INDUSTRY. Its been a horrific incident and the C.M. justified it by saying "They were paid back in there own coins." SHAMEFUL, DISGRACE to the C.M.
