West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari vows zero tolerance for unrest, hooliganism in Bengal

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said his government has a "zero-tolerance" policy towards unrest, hooliganism and anti-social activities, and warned that he was ready to go to any lengths to tackle such incidents.

At a press conference organised by the state BJP to mark 12 years of the BJP-led government at the Centre, he said that maintaining law and order was a priority for his government in West Bengal.

"After we came to power, there have been certain incidents, and we tackled them firmly, sending out a clear message that there will be zero tolerance towards this kind of unrest, hooliganism and anti-social activities. We will not allow such things to continue," the chief minister said.
