LF to hold rally on Nov 19 against law and order deterioration

Left Front chairman Biman Bose told reporters after a meeting of the Left Front that the rally would be held on November 19 against atrocities on women and deterioration of law and order situation in the state.

"The government should ensure security of women and their free movement. There should not be a situation where women will have to remain confined to their houses," Bose said.

Alleging that there was a rise in hooliganism owing to inaction over such elements, he said, "The government should act firmly to ensure restoration of law and order in the state."

Referring to the recent incident of vandalism in a nursing home at Suri in Birbhum district by alleged ruling Trinamool Congress workers, he said, "Had there been no CCTV footage, the government would have passed it off as a false allegation."

Protesting against the recent bus fare hike as abnormally high, the front chairman claimed that though there was an 11 per cent rise in diesel prices, fares were hiked by up to 75 per cent.
