[Kolkata,WB] BJP’s WB President Dilip Ghosh Arrested,
West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh was today arrested by Kolkata Police for holding a road blockade to demand land and other rights for the people of enclaves in Cooch behar district which were given to India by Bangladesh.
Ghosh, along with 26 others, was arrested during the agitation on Central Avenue. The road blockade which lasted for more than half an hour caused huge traffic snarls in the entire central Kolkata region.
Bangladesh and India have exchanged 162 adversely-held enclaves on August 1, 2015 at the stroke of midnight, ending one of the world’s most complex border disputes that had lingered since seven decades.
Altogether 111 Indian enclaves measuring 17,160 acres became Bangladesh territory and similarly, 51 Bangladesh enclaves measuring 7,110 acres became Indian territory.
All the Indian enclaves are located in West Bengal’s Cooch behar district.
The 51 enclaves are spread across Dinhata, Mekliganj, Sitai, Sitalkuchi and Toofanganj assembly constituencies.
