Around 150 judgments have made a leg, with prohibition orders and internet closures imposed on Murshidabad, government sources said.
While intelligence agencies have issued urgent alerts to the Western Bengala Government, there is a systemic collapse of the law and order, and the State Police allegedly colludes with the ruler Congress of Trinamool (TMC) to ignore communal clashes. The sources claim: “There were attacks on the properties of Hindu properties.

Intelligence agencies emphasize that the communal protests of Bengal, if they are not controlled, could be emboldened cross -border extremism and destabilize the eastern border of India.
