Mamata Banerjee asks West Bengal governor Bose to delay Murshidabad visit; he rejects appeal

Kolkata: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday appealed to governor CV Ananda Bose to wait for a few more days before going to Murshidabad, as confidence-building measures are ongoing and peace is returning in the district.

Banerjee said she has also decided not to go to Murshidabad for now.

Bose rejects appeal

Earlier, Bose said he would visit Murshidabad.


"I have been to Delhi. I am not sharing other details. I am going to the field and will do a reality check myself. After talking to all sections of the society, I will share further details," he said. "The families have come to meet me. They expressed fear and that is genuine."

Banerjee said she has also asked the state women's commission not to visit the district for now.

Bose later said the request of the CM has been taken seriously, but he will "visit the field".
