Kolkata Members of the People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) today set two goods-loaded trucks on fire on National Highway 6, for violating the bandh called by them in three districts of West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura.

The truck was heading towards Kharagpur. Another truck was burnt on state highway 9 near Salboni by the PCAPA supporters. The truck was heading towards Jhargram from Lodhashuli. Asit Mahato, convener of PCAPA, said: “The trucks were set on fire as they did not comply with the will of the people by goint against the bandh call.”

The bandh had been called to protest against the police firing on PCAPA supporters at Satpati near Lalgarh on Thursday night, in which one PCAPA activist was killed.

A senior police officer, meanwhile, said a mine had been recovered from Dharampur near Lalgarh.
