“The violence was unfortunate. We do not want riots. Some outsiders orchestrated it, but we will expose them and their conspiracy,” she said at an administrative programme in Midnapore.
“I have promised the families of those killed in the violence to give a compensation of Rs 10 lakh each. We will also rebuild their houses under the ‘Banglar Bari’ scheme… I will be going there in the first week of May and evaluate the situation,” Banerjee said.
Governor C V Ananda Bose had on April 19 met family members of a man and his son, who were killed during violence over anti-Waqf (Amendment) Act protests in Murshidabad district, and assured them of all possible support.
At least three people, including a father and son, died and over 280 have been arrested in connection with the violence earlier this month. PTI SCH RBT
