Eight supporters of the Communist Party of India-Marxist were arrested on Thursday from Tekhali Bazar in Nandigram as three companies of Central Reserve Police Force patrolled the area to maintain peace. A six-member team of the National Human Rights Commission is slated to visit the troubled area today to chalk out remedial measures. Meanwhile, district Congress secretary and BUPC member Milan Pradhan alleged that two supporters of the BUPC were beaten up by CPM supporters.
Roadblocks have been put up at some places on the road from Nandigram to Hazra Kata and the police had to march in those stretches.
