Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee says 'will visit troubled areas of Murshidabad in May'

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister on Tuesday said that she will visit the violence-hit district of Murshidabad in the first week of May. "I will visit troubled areas of Murshidabad in first week of May," she said speaking at a government event. Violence struck Murshidabad during anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act protests leading to three deaths, with hundreds fleeing their homes.

Last week, West Bengal governor CV Ananda Bose had visited Murshidabad, ignoring Mamata's request not to go. Bose visited Murshidabad and met with the victim families on Saturday..
