Kolkata Police went into a tizzy Friday after
Maoist posters condemning the violence in Nandigram were found plastered on
the gate of Writers' Buildings, the high-security state secretariat.
Security personnel found the posters on gate
no.1 and immediately removed them. Police have taken a photocopy of the posters
for further investigation.
'Yes, Maoist posters have been found on the
gate of the state secretariat as well in other places. The matter is being
investigated by the police,' state Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Roy told reporters.
He admitted the state intelligence department
had no prior information about it.
Asked whether any action would be taken against
the police for the security lapse, Roy said city Police Commissioner Gautam
Mohan Chakraborty would look into it.
'We have already filed a case and the investigation
is on,' Kolkata Police Deputy Commissioner (Head Quarters) Vineet Goyel told
IANS.
The posters blamed Chief Minster Buddhadeb
Bhattacharya, Left Front chairman Biman Bose and Communist Party of India
- Marxist politburo member Binoy Konar for the March 14 firing and the spiralling
violence in Nandigram.
Maoists posters were also found on the walls
of a popular city joint - Coffee House - in central Kolkata.
At least 14 people had died and hundreds were
injured in the March 14 police firing in Nandigram.
Nandigram, around 150 km from here in East
Midnapore district, flared up over proposed land acquisition for a special
economic zone (SEZ), including a chemical hub - a plan that was later scrapped
by the state government in face of stiff resistance.
