Nabanna march highlights

 Police and demonstrators clashed in various areas of Kolkata and nearby Howrah on Tuesday, as protesters attempted to break through barriers and advance towards the West Bengal secretariat 'Nabanna'. 

While the BJP demanded a nationwide strike on Wednesday, the ruling Trinamool Congress criticized the move, saying it was intended to cause disruption. 

Over 200 individuals were apprehended in relation to the Nabanna Abhijan demonstration. 

Fights were noted at MG Road, Hastings Road and regions close to the Princep Ghat along with Santragachi and Howrah Maidan during which a few demonstrators and 29 police officers got hurt. 

According to a report by PTI news agency, 126 individuals affiliated with Paschim Banga Chhatra Samaj were apprehended by authorities. 33 of them were females. 

The Kolkata Police had to use lathi charge, water cannons, and tear gas to scatter demonstrators who hurled rocks at the security forces and tried to break through barriers preventing them from reaching the state secretariat. 

Subsequently, law enforcement utilized tear gas and resorted to baton charging in order to scatter BJP officials and followers as they advanced towards Kolkata Police headquarters Lalbazar seeking the freedom of students detained during the Nabanna Abhijan demonstration. The police intervention commenced when BJP backers tried to breach police barriers to access Lal Bazaar. 

Sukanta Majumdar, the BJP's state leader, who was in charge of the demonstration, became unwell from tear gas exposure and later departed from the area. Previously, a BJP rally led by Majumdar was prevented from proceeding towards Lal Bazar. 

jp nadda, in a dig at chief minister mamata banerjee, expressed his displeasure at the police brutality in kolkata that has upset those who prioritize democratic values. In Didi's West Bengal, it is considered acceptable to support rapists and wrongdoers, but it is deemed criminal to advocate for the safety of women." JP Nadda accused the Kolkata Police of suppressing the voices of the people seeking justice, stating that Mamata Banerjee has opted to stay silent regarding the horrific crime against a woman and the deceitful treatment of her parents. 

Senior minister of Bengal, Chandrima Bhattacharya, praised the police for their excellent work in managing the crowd and not succumbing to provocations during the Nabanna Abhijan event.
