Bulldozer removes shed outside Abhishek Banerjee’s residence amid TMC-BJP standoff
A bulldozer was deployed outside TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee’s residence in Kolkata on Thursday as civic workers demolished a temporary bamboo shed and removed an iron gate allegedly obstructing pedestrian movement on the footpath.
A heavy police presence was seen outside the TMC national general secretary’s residence on Kalighat Road as workers pulled down the shed and used a gas cutter to dismantle the gate. The civic action came amid a political row after Banerjee alleged that police personnel were keeping watch outside his residence.
The TMC claimed the shed had originally been built by the state security department to accommodate personnel assigned to his Z-plus security cover, which has since been withdrawn. While Banerjee’s office staff had begun removing the structure on Wednesday, civic authorities moved in on Thursday to clear the footpath. The issue has also drawn complaints from local residents who said the structure restricted pedestrian movement. (PTI)
