Following the Friday’s attack o the ED officials and Central forces at Sandeshkhali when they went to raid the house of a TMC leader Shahjehan Sheikh the administrative authorities have mandatorily directed the central forces personnel to take certain precautionary measures before conducting such raids. Accordingly the central forces would have to wear helmets, body guards and carry lathis in addition to their guns, sources said.
This, apart from other “important measures” taken as per protocol, sources added.
Meanwhile, sending a stern message the Nabanna --- State administrative headquarters --- to act on the Shahjehan Sheikh case Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has called for a report on the Friday’s incident, Raj Bhavan sources said on Monday.
“The governor has also directed the state government to fix responsibility for the failure of law and order and punish the police officers who failed in their duties,” said an official.
