TMC’s Abdur Rezzak Mollah, the local legislator, said four villages cannot determine the fate of the power sub-station which will benefit some 600,000 people.
Instead, it is forcing its unilateral decisions on them, he alleged. The other ultra-Left leader Chakraborty said the state government was unwilling to give audience to concerns of the local people. Complaints have been lodged with the Union power ministry as well, she said. The narrative has now changed: CPI(ML) Red Star’s Choudhury claimed the project was being executed without following established best practices. The activists had fomented the agitation saying that overhead power cables were a health hazard, which could also impact farm output. His family had received the cheque for compensation but banks declined to honour it, he alleged. But after he was killed, his family chose to “side with the oppressed villagers than with a government which does not keep promises", said his brother Mustakin Mullah. The family of the late Mullah was not politically active. Ali has now switched camps, and is now an active member of the apolitical resistance group led by the CPI(ML) Red Star. This government has turned against its own supporters, said Ali, who declined to accept the compensation offered for his son’s death. Even in the face of internal strife in 2016, Ali had remained loyal to the TMC.

Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre will close by the end of the year, ending years of problems for the juvenile jail including attacks on staff, riots and escapes. It also promised to employ one person from their families, but according to their relations, the state didn’t deliver on its promises. The state government announced a compensation of Rs2 lakh each for the families of the deceased. The two killed were Mafizul Khan and Alamgir Mullah. Since then, Bhangar has been on the boil. CPI(ML) Red Star alleged that they died in police custody but the administration denied the charge. The strife came to a head on 17 January last year when villagers clashed with the police and two persons were killed in a firing.
