Memories of the dark days of the anti-land acquisition movement, when they hunkered down in paddy fields as marauding hordes roamed about terrorising people, have returned to haunt Nandigram.
Staccato sounds of gunfire are once again breaking the fragile peace of this small town in West Bengal s East Midnapore district where violent clashes between ruling TMC supporters and those of the BJP have become commonplace in the run up to the Assembly elections to be held in a few months from now. For the last three days, we have been spending sleepless nights, says 62-year-old Shyamal Manna as gunshots frequently ring out near his mud house.
