The Trinamool Congress has blamed the Border Security Force (BSF) for the death of four children in an accident at Chopra in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal and set up a 12-member team to seek the intervention of the Governor.
“In a recent tragic incident in Chopra, Uttar Dinajpur, 4 innocent children lost their lives due to @BSF_India’s ILLEGAL drain expansion. Our MPs have penned a letter to the Hon’ble Governor who has agreed to meet our 12-member delegation on February 15. In the letter, we requested him to show the same urgency in visiting Chopra that he did in visiting Sandeshkhali,” Trinamool Congress said in a post on social media. The Governor has given time for the delegation to meet on Thursday.
The children died after an under construction drainage caved in on Monday. The BSF issued a statement said that they had nothing to with the deaths and they tried to rescue the children.
