In a shocking escalation of local unrest, protesters opposing the Special Investment Region (SIR) project stormed and vandalized the Block Development Officer (BDO) office in West Bengal. The incident, which unfolded amid rising tensions over land acquisition and development plans, has prompted authorities to file an FIR against the agitators. The confrontation began when a large group of villagers, frustrated with what they perceive as forced displacement for industrial growth, gathered outside the BDO office. Eyewitnesses report that the crowd turned violent, smashing windows and damaging official documents. Local police were quick to respond but faced resistance from the mob, leading to a tense standoff.
