Panchayat poll violence: Protesters baton-charged in Bengal
Protesters in West Bengal hit the streets on Sunday against the violence that rocked the state panchayat elections and over allegations of irregularities. In Purba Medinipur district, BJP workers blocked the Haldia-Mecheda state highway at Nandakumar alleging that ballot boxes were being tampered with at the counting centre at Srikrishnapur High School.
