After clashes between two communities on Sunday night, Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code was on Monday imposed in West Bengal's Ekbalpur until Wednesday to restore law and order. The violence was reported from Kolkata's Khidderpore-Mominpur area, which left several people injured. The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) traded blows, accusing each other of fueling communal hatred.
