1 Dead In Bhangar, Bengal's New Singur. Protesters Ask Mamata To Act

In a protest in West Bengal that is being compared to the massive Singur agitation a few years ago, hundreds of angry locals have this morning blocked major roads in Bhangar, 40 km from the state capital Kolkata, demanding an assurance from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that their land will not be forcibly acquired by the government for a power sub-station. One person was killed on Tuesday as protesters clashed with the policemen and set fire to six police vehicles.
