Why in news
Governor C.V. Ananda Bose warned of Murshidabad violence spreading to other parts of West Bengal.
He suggested the Centre consider constitutional steps to restore public trust and law and order.
His report to the Union government recommended:
A central law to allow the Union to intervene when a State fails to act.
A Commission of Inquiry to investigate the violence.
BSF outposts in vulnerable border areas.
The Governor indirectly referenced Article 356, which allows President’s Rule in a state.
The Governor acknowledged the State’s efforts but urged central action and tighter border control.
He described the violence as systematic, aimed at displacing and erasing the identity of a group.
