ire at fishing hub, opposition blames TMC
Updated: 2016-05-03-07:54
Several fishermen’s tents and 7-8 motor boats were gutted and two launches damaged when a fire broke out at jetty No. 2 of the Ramnagar-Sankarpur fishing hub in East Midnapore on Saturday night. Though no one was injured, fishermen lost equipment worth Rs 70-80 lakh in the fire.
With the incident taking place ahead of the last round of election on May 5, when all the 15 East Midnapore constituencies go to the polls, the CPM alleged that Trinamool goons set fire to the assets of the fishermen who, it claimed, are all Left supporters. The party has complained to the EC. The Trinamool, however, said the damage was unfortunate and that it was in no way involved in the incident.
