Demanding safety after counting of votes, hundreds of villagers staged a protest in Falta in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district on Saturday (May 2, 2026), alleging they were receiving life threats from TMC workers in the area.
The protesters, many of them women and holding BJP flags, blocked the road in Hasimnagar village, alleging that local panchayat pradhan Israfil, a close associate of TMC candidate Jehangir Khan, issued them threats of attacks after poll results are announced.
