Journalists injured
Special Correspondent
KOLKATA:
Three journalists were injured when police resorted to a lathi-charge at Seoraphuli in West Bengal's Hooghly district on Friday in a bid to prevent activists of a naxalite outfit from proceeding towards Singur to protest against the alleged forcible acquisition of farmland for the setting up of a car-manufacturing plant.
Later, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said he had directed the authorities concerned to inquire into the "unfortunate" incident.
The protestors belonging to the CPI-ML (Liberation) were led by its general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya. Prohibitory orders under Section 144 Cr PC are in force in the Singur area.
Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, who is on hunger-strike here against farmland acquisition for the Singur project, condemned the lathi-charge.
