West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has raised serious concerns about the state government’s failure to maintain law and order, describing the situation as bizarre. His criticism comes in the wake of a recent incident where an unidentified mob vandalized the RG Kar Hospital campus, causing extensive damage to property and creating chaos. The Governor’s remarks highlight the growing public frustration with the deteriorating security situation in the state.
The vandalism at RG Kar Hospital on August 14 was a shocking display of lawlessness that shook public confidence in the authorities. Governor Bose pointed out that the public is finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish between criminals and the police, indicating a breakdown in trust and accountability. He criticized the government for its handling of the incident, accusing them of trying to downplay the severity of the situation by labeling it as a suicide.
In an interview with ANI, Governor Bose emphasized the urgent need for the state government to address the issue of law and order. He highlighted the lack of effective administration and called for concrete steps to be taken to restore public safety and confidence. The Governor’s concerns were further fueled by the recent rape-murder case of a trainee doctor, which has sparked outrage and demands for justice across the state.
Governor Bose also raised alarm over the tampering and destruction of evidence at the hospital, indicating a serious lapse in the police’s investigative efforts. During his visit to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, he was appalled to learn that nursing students had been threatened with rape, painting a grim picture of the security situation in the state. The Governor urged the government to listen to the voices of the youth, who play a crucial role in shaping the future of society.
In response to the escalating unrest, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused political rivals of instigating trouble in Bengal. The Kolkata Police took swift action by arresting 25 suspects involved in the vandalism, but the situation remains tense. Additionally, the CBI’s involvement in the rape-murder case has added a new dimension to the ongoing protests, with four doctors from the hospital being summoned for questioning.
Governor Bose’s strong stance against the state government’s failure to maintain law and order underscores the urgent need for decisive action. The public outcry over the recent incidents reflects a deep-seated frustration with the deteriorating security situation in West Bengal. As the case unfolds and investigations continue, all eyes are on the authorities to ensure justice is served and the rule of law is upheld.
