News Desk: Asserting that law and order is a state subject, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday directed the police in Nadia district having border with Bangladesh not to allow the Border Security Force (BSF) to enter areas that are outside its jurisdiction.
At an administrative meeting held here, she also asked police officers in the district to increase ‘naka checking’ and keep extra vigil.
“I will ask the IC to increase their mobility and step up naka checking. You have borders with Bangladesh starting from Karimpur. You also have to keep an eye on that…”
“You also have to see that the BSF does not get into villages without your permission and get involved with anything. The BSF will do their work and you will do yours. Always remember that law and order is your subject. I will not let the common people be tortured” Ms Banerjee said.
Reacting to her remarks, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed his concern and sent a letter to her which says “Your stance has sent disturbing signals and is potentially alarming for federal polity and national security”.
