After committing communal violence in Baduria and Basirhat areas of north 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, the police has imposed Section 144 here. Apart from this, the administration has banned internet service there.

Following an abusive post on social media Facebook, there was a violent clash between the two communities. On Tuesday, the violent mob not only attacked the police force but set fire to many of their cars and shops. After this, the main road connecting India-Bangladesh was also blocked.

Seeing the ruckus, BJP President of West Bengal, Dilip Ghosh, has demanded to impose President's rule in the state. The Bengal Police has issued a warning on Wednesday about spreading rumors that social media will be violating communal harmony.

A day back, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said that due to a Facebook post, communal violence in North 24 Parganas was raging. The next day the police has issued this warning after the Chief Minister's statement comes. The West Bengal Police has issued this warning through tweet, which states, "Responsible people should tweet responsibly, not because of spreading rumors and dissociating communal harmony. Do not spread any kind of rumor. The administration takes full responsibility to maintain peace and harmony."

Given the situation, the state government sought help from the Central Government. Subsequently, the Union Home Ministry has sent three companies of Paramilitary Forces to 24 Parganas. Along with that, the Home Ministry has asked the State Government to submit a complete report in this matter.

Let the violence begin with a Facebook post. According to the police, a tenth student on Monday posted an abusive post on Facebook which had become viral in a while. After this people came to the streets and handed over many vehicles and shops to the fire.

Although the police immediately arrested the accused student after the riots, the administration had closed all the schools and colleges. The ruckus was that the rioters had also stopped local trains and bus services.

Later, BJP workers started protesting and jammed the road in many areas of the district, accusing the police of inaction. Four people from Vishwa Hindu Parishad, who are protesting against the incident in Kolkata's capital city, 100 kilometers away, have been arrested by the police.

The political war of communal violence in North 24 Parganas district reached the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Kesari Nath Tripathi. After this violence, the Trinamool Congress has given the governor the mandate to follow the Constitution and restrictions the next day after the Governor called the CM. Trinamool Congress has alleged that Governor Kesarinath Tripathi has bad talks with CM. Like a BJP spokesman, CM has threatened.
