West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari warned of a tough crackdown on violence and stone-pelting after visiting Kolkata’s Park Circus area, where police and central force personnel were injured in clashes a day earlier, saying such incidents would be dealt with under a “zero tolerance” policy.

Addressing a press conference after meeting injured personnel, Adhikari said “stone-pelting was put to an end in Kashmir a long time ago” and asserted that “all forms of hooliganism in Bengal are coming to an end” as he instructed police officers to act without fear or political pressure.
