Nandigram not declared disturbed area
Centre says no deployment delay
West Bengal Government's claim that the delay in dispatch of CRPF has resulted in worsening of the situation stands exposed, as the State Government is yet to declare Nandigram a disturbed area.
The disturbed area declaration is important to vest requisite powers of search and seizure to the CRPF as policing is a State subject under the Constitution. Besides, the CRPF battalion has been stationed by the State Government 20 to 30 km away from Nandigram making round-the-clock deployment and patrolling unfeasible.
In Kolkata, Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal on Friday did admit that the CRPF was not going to interior areas of Nandigram. He said the Central forces were now under the State and they were patrolling areas as directed by it.
Jaiswal also countered West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's claim that the Centre had delayed deployment of the CRPF in Nandigram.
"I don't know what the Chief Minister had said, but the Centre did not delay in sending CRPF for Nandigram," a report from Kolkata quoted Jaiswal as saying
