Amid his spat with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal governor K N Tripathi today expressed satisfaction over the steps being taken to restore peace in the riot-hit areas of North 24 Parganas district.
"I want peace and law and order to be restored. And I am happy that steps are being taken in that direction," he told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.
The governor's comments come in the backdrop of the spat that broke out between him and Banerjee over the communal clashes in the Baduria of North 24 Parganas.
