Siliguri, 27 May (Siliguri Chronicle) – Siliguri Mayor Gautam Deb on Wednesday visited the residence of TMCP student leader Vivek Jha, who was seriously injured during a clash at Siliguri College earlier this week.
The incident took place on Monday morning following a confrontation between members of Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) and ABVP over the setting up of an admission help desk on the college campus.
According to reports, the dispute began with a verbal argument between the two student organisations regarding the arrangement of the help desk for the admission process. The situation later turned violent, leading to a physical clash inside the college premises.
TMCP student leader Vivek Jha suffered serious injuries in the incident and is currently recovering at his residence.
After meeting the injured student leader, Mayor Gautam Deb alleged that “outsiders” were involved in the attack on the TMCP-run help desk and party-affiliated student workers. He said legal action would be initiated and demanded strict punishment against those responsible for the incident.
